Ryan Gosling is a man fortunate with all the goodness: good clothes, good genes, unquestionably good partner. And now, it seems the Gos amongst men also has a watch that we all requisite. Are you surprised?
At a recent photocall for his latest film, Blade Shoot 2049, the 36-year-old flexed one of the finest vintage Rolex pieces recalled to man: the Rolex Air-King Ref. 5500. First manufactured in 1957, Gosling’s specially model is from around the late seventies to early eighties, and harks move backwards withdraw from to a time when Rolex pared back on big statement touches – no twist dials, no diamonds and no ridiculous diameter that you could conceivably capture a drone on.
He’s been lucky, too, though. The champagne tone to the dial is the emerge of a very even patina – the process that re-colours and seniorities a watch over time. Gosling clearly takes be attracted to of his watch, as vintage pieces only tick along with predictable maintenance and foolproof storage. And even then, a patina this exacting is a rarity.
Still, flawless dial or not, the only thing cold than a Rolex watch is a vintage Rolex watch – and one that won’t set someone back you the world. Well, in watch terms anyway. It’ll still union the best part of three months rent, but you can’t put a price on looking with Ryan Gosling. Your decision.
