The wheels of history are turning at RMsothebys exhibition in #Paris today. This Rolex “Monoblocco”, Reference 3525, circa 1946 formerly belonged to Tony O’Brien, a member of the British Special Air Service (SAS) who was involved in the efforts to escape from the prison that inspired the movie “The Great Escape” starring Steve McQueen (est. £30,000-60,000). It is one of the highlights of our #London Watches sale on 16 April which are exhibited alongside collectors cars of tonight’s #RMParis auction. Presented here in a 1958 Aston Martin DB2/4 Mk III. #SothebysWatches #Rolex #thegreatescape #rolexmonoblocco #rolexoyster #vintagerolex #rolexvintage #Chronograph #watchesofinstagram #hautehorlogerie #lovewatches #womw#watches #luxurywatch #watchgeek #watchmania #watchmaniac #watchcollector #hodinkee
