Additional Informations: The Rolex GMT Ref. 6542, affectionately known as "Pussy Galore," is not just a timepiece but a piece of film history associated with the legendary James Bond film "Goldfinger." This model was developed in collaboration with the iconic airline PANAM, specifically designed for pilots to help them keep track of different time zones around the world. Its ability to display two different time zones simultaneously made it the choice for globetrotters and jetsetters. It encapsulates the era of the 1950s jet-set lifestyle to the fullest.
This particular specimen is one of many where the Radium dial was replaced by a Tritium dial in the mid-1960s, as it features the "gilt dial“ as it should be. Additionally, the Radium bezel insert was replaced with a radiation-free aluminum bezel that has acquired a beautiful fuchsia hue over the years.
