Rolex 1959 Hubert Leupin Poster

I am offering for sale a recently purchased, mint condition reproduction Rolex 1959 advertising poster done by Hubert Leupin. It is a fine and rare advertising poster depicting a royal hand pointing to the sky with his watch on his wrist. It measures 128 x 90 cm (35 7/16" x 50 25/64") and is unframed so it is rather large. The poster was printed by Wolfsberg in Zurich Switzerland. The same exact piece sold at the Antiquorum auction in Geneva November 2012 for 4,500 CHF or approximately $5,000. Check out the link (http://catalog.antiquorum.com/catalo...&auctionid=267). This poster is in better shape as it does not have a tear in it. I recently picked this up in Italy and is a must have piece for any Rolex collector. The poster is 100% authentic and was purchased a dealer who only sells original antique posters. Leupin was a world renowned illustrator. I've included his biography below. Herbert Leupin (1916-1999) Herbert LEUPIN was born in Beinwil am See in 1918, lived in Basel and later in his life he moved to the Italian Part of Switzerland where he died in 1999. Between 1932 and 1935, he was trained at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Basel where he was taught by teachers such as Paul Kammüller, Hermann Eidenbenz and Donald Brun. After graduating, he did a internship at the advertising atelier Eidenbenz in Basel. From 1935 to 1936, he attended the Ecole Paul Colin in Paris. Despite that time in France, he maintained his Swiss traditional approach that valued professionalism and discipline. Herbert Leupin started as independant freelance graphic designer in 1938 and soon became one of the most important poster artists in Switzerland. In the late ´30s, his style was illustrative but soon, he became famous for his innovative humorous figures and his fresh and colorful style. His best posters tell small stories and translate he company‘s name into a picture. His innovative Object Posters for companies like Eptinger, Bata, Knie, Coca Cola and various publishers became world-famous and today some of them are rare collective items. In many ways, Herbert Leupin was the leading figure in poster design in the fifties. Due to his wide range of styles and his creative humor, even his contemporaries saw him as one of the best graphic artist of the time. For some of the several hundred posters he created, he received important awards in Germany, Switzerland and the US such as the Medal Award of Art Directors Club in Chicago in 1960. Leupin illustrated countless children‘s books. From 1970 onwards, he mostly lived in the Ticino and worked exclusively as a painter. Priced to sell at $3,900 + shipping.
