The watch retains its original commemorative presentation packaging, including a blue-and-gold illustrated outer box, clear Swatch protective case and printed historical information about the modern Olympic Movement.

The presentation includes reproduced statements and signatures of former International Olympic Committee President Juan Antonio Samaranch and Swatch executive Nicolas G. Hayek.
