Robb Report: Wind Vintage’s Rolex GMT-Master II 16718 ‘Tom Sachs’
Blake Buettner recently wrote in Robb Report highlighting Wind Vintage’s Rolex GMT-Master II 16718 ‘Tom Sachs’ watch.
“Okay, we generally don’t feature custom creations in these lists, but this example merits inclusion for its special provenance. Featuring a custom black painted case by artist Tom Sachs, this once gold reference 16718 is one of just five examples. The black paint was applied and intended to wear and chip, slowly revealing the gold case underneath. This example is just beginning to shed some of this skin. For fans of the artist, famous for his collaborations with Nike as well as his modern art sculptures, this watch represents a rare opportunity to be a part of the art itself through wear. This specific example from Wind Vintage is number 3 of 5, and was previously owned by a private art dealer. It is easily the most unique GMT-Master II you’re likely to come across anytime soon.”
