Elvis Presley Rolex Big Crown


Elvis Presley Rolex Big CrownThe legendary singer Elvis “the King” Presley, was in this picture from 1962 wearing a 37mm Rolex “Big Crown” Submariner in stainless steel, a reference that was also worn by Sean Connery in Dr. No and Goldfinger. Elvis had the steel bracelet removed in this picture though.

This incredibly rare reference 6538, that features a black gilt dial with a screw back case and a big crown, is naturally extremely sought-after by watch collectors and rarely available. In 2018 it went for $567,000 USD on Phillips auction in London.

Presley would have been 85 years of age today if he had lived, but he died back in 1977 at the age of 42 due to health issues.
