Manufacturer: Rolex;Year: Circa 1959;Reference No: 6542;Movement No: DN'900'263;Case No: 482'269;Model Name: GMT Master "Pussy Galore;Material: Stainless steel;Calibre: Automatic, cal. 1066, 25 jewels;Bracelet/Strap: Stainless steel riveted expandable Rolex Oyster bracelet, end links stamped 65, max length 205mm.;Clasp/Buckle: Stainless steel deployant clasp stamped 2.59;Dimensions: 39mm. Diameter;Signed: Case, dial, movement and bracelet signed;Literature: For another example of a reference 6542 with Bakelite bezel see 100 Superlative Rolex Watches by John Goldberger, page 192.;Catalogue Essay;Let us start by saying that the present lot is most probably the best preserved example of a Rolex reference 6542 we have ever seen. The case is untouched, beautifully displaying its polished and brushed surfaces as well as its strong beveled lugs. The Bakelite bezel remains in excellent condition and superbly frames the black glossy dial.;It is rare for a watch to be nicknamed after the villain seen wearing one in a film, however the reference 6542 gets its nickname from the only woman in the United States known to be running an organised crime gang: “Pussy Galore” as seen in the 1964 James Bond film “Goldfinger”.;The GMT-Master's history has however less to do with combating international spies and mysterious women than air travel. It began with Pan Am commissioning Rolex to develop a watch for their pilots. Due to the increasing flying distance traveled by pilots in the 1940s and 1950s, the need to keep time in multiple zones had grown in importance. And, the GMT-Master is therefore born with its typical Bakelite bezel and a fourth hand, which allowed pilots to use them to calculate a second time-zone.;The present lot, other than its amazingly well preserved case and bezel features an alluring black lacquer dial with gilt printing whose numerals and hands have aged consistently and present the beholder with a very warm cream hue and the expandable Oyster bracelet from the same period. Furthermore, the original bracelet is fitted with the desirable "big logo" clasp that correctly matches the era of the watch.;Tool watches were meant to be worn and used daily rather than be kept in a safe and worn only on special occasions. In fact, it was common for their owners to wear and polish them frequently. To find one in such original condition is delightful.

Diameter;Signed: Case, dial, movement and bracelet signed;Literature: For another example of reference 6542 cased in yellow gold, please see 100 Superlative Rolex Watches by John Goldberger, page 192.;Catalogue Essay;Rolex’s GMT-Master is yet another proof of the brand’s forward thinking and innovative approach to watchmaking and the desire to create timepieces answering the needs of specific professions.;First released in in 1954, the GMT-Master reference 6542 was designed for pilots to use in their line of work. With the rise of international travel in the 1940s and 1950s, Rolex initially created the model for Pan Am airlines to track dual time zones. This ingenious design featured an immediately recognizable bakelite bezel with the twenty-four hour luminous numerals painted on the underside, made to glow in any weather condition. Bakelite was Rolex's material of choice, due to its low reflectivity and high readability. The additional luminous 24-hour tipped hand allowed the viewer to immediately track a second time zone.;Given that the GMT-Master was created for specific, work-related purposes, most examples were cased in stainless steel. These watches were worn in the most practical sense and made to withstand the elements. Yet, Rolex also manufactured a very limited number of watches cased in yellow gold, and fitted with a brown bakelite bezel. Due to the immense fragility of these watches, it is incredibly rare to find examples fitted with a bakelite insert.;The original GMT-Master eventually ceased production in 1959.;The present lot is one of the very rare 18K gold examples of the celebrated GMT-Master reference 6542 and stands out by its attractive overall condition.

Diameter;Signed: Case, dial and movement signed;Literature: For another example of a reference 6542 with bakelite bezel see 100 Superlative Rolex Watches by John Goldberger, page 192.;Catalogue Essay;The first version of Rolex’s iconic GMT-Master, the reference 6542 was made famous when seen on the wrist of “Pussy Galore” in the 1964 James Bond movie "Goldfinger", leading to its amusing nickname in the collector community.;The GMT-Master's history began with Pan Am commissioning Rolex to develop a watch for their pilots. Due to the increasing flying distance traveled by pilots in the 1940s and 1950s, the need to keep time in multiple zones had grown in importance. And, the GMT-Master is therefore born with its typical Bakelite bezel and a fourth hand, which allowed pilots to use them in conjunction to calculate a second time-zone.;The present watch is a charismatic and rare example of the reference 6542. The watch is furthermore preserved in overall attractive original condition. It retains the original Bakelite bezel in good condition, a wonderfully preserved original black lacquer dial with gilt printing whose numerals and hands have aged consistently and present the beholder with a very warm cream hue and the expandable Oyster bracelet from the same period. Furthermore, the original bracelet is fitted with the desirable "big logo" clasp that correctly matches the era of the watch.
