We sold a one only known to exist Rolex wall clock two years ago. We received a call from a gentleman in Ohio that saw our website and has a different Rolex wall clock we will be consigning and selling on eBay. This is probably as rare as the first one we sold, as we have never heard of another.
A brief history of Rolex and Pan Am helps explain the clock. Pan Am’s founder, Juan Trippe, theorized that if pilots had a watch that would help them keep track of the time in their current time zone as well as their home time zone, the effects of jet lag would be milder. The original Rolex GMT master watch was developed by Rolex and Pan Am exclusively for Pam Am pilots, first officers, and navigators in 1958.
Obviously, a wonderful relationship developed between Rolex and the airline known as America’s Imperial Airline. This phenomenal piece is truly a one-of-a-kind. The clock as you would guess, keeps impeccable time.
this is very cool! how much did it sell for?
