Rolex GMT MASTER Gilt 1966, Argentina. A nice story.
If you are lucky, you can find a nice vintage Rolex with box and papers, full set.
In the full set, the cherry on the cake is to also get the original invoice.
For a watch, made in 1966, sold in 1969, it is not often that you get the invoice.
Here is the watch, full set:
The Extra Bonus... The house of the original owner. My Argentinian friend sent me picture of this house, located in Mar Del Plata. If the original owner doesn't live here anymore, the house didn't change that much, according to my amigo.
One day, I hope, I will be able to take a wrist shot of this watch, in front of this house!
Best,
Nicolas
PS: Gracias to our dear fried from Argentina!

Qué historia más bonita!
Thanks for sharing it Nicolas. It takes me back to the seventies when it was not difficult to see those boxes, invoices, and warranty cards in middle-class homes in Italy! Enjoy that beauty!
Now that really is a full set and a beautiful vintage Rolex GMT Master.
It's amazing to think that a watch that is nearly 60 years old has managed to keep everything it came with and in such great condition. I can never quite get my head around it when I see watches that are only a couple of years old yet have neither box or ...
This is all quite an amazig tale…
not the least of which is that such a beautiful Rolex GMT once sat in the AD’s display for several YEARS before being purchased. My goodness, those were the days ;-)
