“It’s better not to work than to work in something you don’t want to be working in”. Garcia believes in this truism like it was God’s command and the Rolex name identifies with Garcia in his sense of duty to do what he does well. Who can bring a heartbreaking poignancy to a sensitive role better than Andy Garcia? The actor’s acute attention to the character he plays on screen is translatable into the superior ingenuity that goes into the creation of every Rolex watch. The artistry with which the Rolex name is identical comes from the watch brand’s endeavor to create for its exclusive clients not just an instrument of time but a lifetime of shared experience.
Born in Cuba, Garcia and his family moved to Miami after the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion. While Andy’s father who had been an attorney in Cuba built a multi million dollar perfume business in the US, the young Garcia started taking drama classes with Jey W. Jensen at Miami Beach Senior High School.
Garcia began acting at the Florida International University before he went to Hollywood. Garcia was working part time as waiter while he acted in short roles. For Garcia a step forward came through when he was offered a role in the popular TV series Hill Street Blues. His performance in 8 Million Ways To Die was liked by Brian de Palma and Garcia was cast in The Untouchables.
Coppola was casting for The Godfather Part III, for the role of Sonny Corleone’s son Vincent Corleone. The role was one that actors old and new wanted to be cast in but it was Garcia’s uncanny resemblance to actor Al Pacino that got him the role. Garcia won an Academy Award nomination for his performance and his popularity soared with the film’s success. The relatively unknown actor was a star overnight, a status that the Godfather series had lent to most of its lesser known stars.
Andy Garcia’s role in When A Man Loves A Woman, was emotionally high strung. Playing a husband to an alcoholic wife, played by Meg Ryan, the actor’s character was shown as being dependant on his wife’s uncontrollable behavior for self definition. Andy was nominated for an MTV Movie Award for Most Desirable Male. Disappearance of Garcia Lorca that released in 1997 was nominated for an ALMA Award for Garcia’s role in the film. Garcia won the next year’s ALMA for Desperate Measures. His dream project, The Lost City that released in 2005 brought him the Imagen Foundation Award for Best Director.
It was playing the casino owner Terry Benedict in the Ocean’s series that landed Garcia into bigger stardom. In 2009, Andy is playing Vince Rizzo in City Island and his next venture The Last Full Measure is slated to release next year.
Rolex Day Date’s faultless finish is teamed with the Rolex’s Calendar mechanism that displays not only the date but also the day of the week in 26 different languages. The Platinum watch is a certified chronometer and its domed bezel has the serrated edges of the quintessential Rolex design. The grey dial of the watch has an understated elegance attached to its look. The self wound Rolex Day Date is waterproof to100 metres/330 feet. The watch is crystallized in sapphire and the Day Date’s bracelet is a President featuring Crownclasp. The Day Date borrows its exactness to detail from its Swiss watch maker. The Rolex Day Date and Andy Garcia have earned their fame from their undaunted commitment to excellence and their eternal charm.
