Rolex Watches Worn for Titanic Dives and the Titanic Film

Collectors have the chance to own two historic Rolex watches, worn by Alfred Giddings on Titanic dives and actor Bill Paxton in the Titanic film in Sotheby's December auction
Watch Boutique is pleased to announce that the Sotheby Auction in December will offer collectors a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own deep-sea exploration artifacts. These artifacts are Rolex watches that were used during Titanic-related events.

Rolex watches are synonymous with precision, durability, and unparalleled adventure. These are often the three themes in the minds of people who want to own one. It is also why, this December, Sotheby's is set to auction two Rolex timepieces with an extraordinary connection to the Titanic. The event is set to be held on December 6, 2024.

The first is a Rolex Submariner worn by renowned underwater cinematographer Al Giddings during dives to the Titanic's wreckage. Giddings is a pioneer in deep-sea exploration and he had this watch with him on several expeditions of the Atlantic including the groundbreaking dives that brought the Titanic's story back to life.

The second watch is a Rolex worn by actor Bill Paxton in James Cameron's Titanic movie. Paxton's character, Brock Lovett, does well in epitomizing the quest to uncover Titanic's secrets which makes this watch a symbol of both Hollywood and history.

These Rolex watches are not just about the technical excellence and masterpieces behind their engineering. They embody adventure, resilience, and the human desire to explore the unknown.

As luxury watch expert Ben Steele explains, "The legacy of the Rolex Submariner was built on its reputation for surviving and thriving under extreme conditions. Here, we see that legacy at its peak. The steel model especially has endured deep-sea conditions on numerous occasions. Any watch that can handle dives to the Titanic not only proves the engineering genius behind Rolex but also holds a certain prestige-it's simply not something you see every day in the world of luxury timepieces."

Sotheby's December auction promises more than a sale. It is a chance to own artifacts that come from one of history's most iconic stories. They are not just watches to tell the time but storytellers, telling the stories of deep-sea exploration.

"For collectors, the value here is as much about the narrative as it is about the watches themselves," Ben continued. "Al Giddings' Steel 1680 Submariner isn't just a rare model; it's a tool that's braved the depths of the ocean multiple times and been part of Titanic exploration history. It's a piece that's been tested in the harshest conditions-a real testament to the quality and endurance of Rolex timepieces."

The auction is open to both Rolex collectors and Titanic enthusiasts. For inquiries, call +44 161 524 7773 or send an email to info@watchboutique.uk [mailto:info@watchboutique.uk].
