On October 2, 2018, Sotheby’s held a rare watch auction in Hong Kong. A unique Rolex Daytona “Zenith” platinum watch sold for US$871,348 (including commission, equivalent to approximately RMB 6.03 million). The transaction was completed, setting an auction record for a modern Rolex watch.
Former Rolex CEO Patrick Heiniger originally owned this watch. Initially, Patrick Heinig commissioned the manufacture of five Daytona watches equipped with Zenith movements, four of which were given to business partners and one for himself. Fake watch.
All five watches have the same platinum case and share the Ref. 16516 number but have different dials, making them unique masterpieces. The watch being auctioned this time is equipped with a black Tahitian mother-of-pearl dial. It is the first “Zenith” Daytona platinum watch to appear on the auction market. Bell and ross replica.
In October 1999, Patrick Hennig gave it to Francesca Gobbi and Romain Gourdain as they entered the wedding hall. Gobbi 1842, located in Milan, is owned by Ms. Gobbi’s family and is one of the earliest watch retailers in Italy.
