The rare platinum AAA wholesale replica Rolex watches are heading to auction and could fetch $1.7 million
The 1999 platinum high quality fake Rolex Daytona watches are heading to auction on Sunday at Sotheby’s Geneva, and could sell for up to $1.7 million.
The cheap super clone watches are made from platinum, a material Rolex did not use on Daytona models until 2013. Its face is mother-of-pearl, set with 10 diamonds. Unlike nearly every other Rolex on the market, it was not part of a standard collection. It was privately commissioned, custom-made for a client — something almost unheard of for Rolex.
“It’s very unusual to come across a commission,” said Pedro Reiser, senior watch specialist at Sotheby’s. “There are other brands which might be more flexible and do these kinds of exercises, maybe on a regular basis — but not in the space of Swiss made replica Rolex watches where you barely can come across any commission whatsoever.”
Only four of these best online copy watches are known to exist, made for the same family, each with a different dial. The watch heading to the auction block is the last one to be sold. The others have already gone for massive prices, topping $3 million.
There is big hype around this small work of metal. It is believed to have been created under the leadership of Patrick Heiniger, Rolex’s CEO from 1992 to 2008. He ran the company during a time of major growth and secrecy and helped turn Rolex from a respected watch brand into a global luxury icon.
While rumors have swirled that Heiniger personally commissioned or wore similar platinum luxury shop fake Rolex Daytona watches, Reiser cautions that there is no confirmed link to this watch.
“That’s more of a rumor,” Reiser said. “Personally, I’ve never seen him with this piece, but I know that he used to love platinum high end copy watches — mainly Day-Date models. It’s a nice story that accompanies the watch, but I think it’s more of a myth.”
The fact that Rolex made a platinum Daytona in 1999, long before it introduced platinum buy fake watches publicly in 2013, is a major part of the watch’s mystique.
“Back then, they only existed in stainless steel, yellow gold and white gold,” Reiser said. “Having a platinum — the only known platinum Zenith Daytona — is very special.”
This particular paypal site replica watches stand apart even from its siblings.
