I first saw this watch a month ago when I stopped by Sotheby’s Geneva during Watches & Wonders. This special 1:1 fake Rolex Daytona was crafted for members of the Netherlands National Football/Soccer team that made it to the 2010 World Cup Final in South Africa, which they ended up losing against Spain.

The story, according to Sotheby’s, is that the Dutch national team filed a request to perfect replica Rolex UK through Gassan Jewelers, a Rolex AD in Amsterdam, for a commemorative batch of 30 watches. Swiss copy Rolex agreed, creating a special white-gold Daytona 116509H with a unique black dial with orange accents.

The Sotheby’s specialist I met with during W&W was working at luxury replica Rolex at the time and admitted that he wasn’t aware the watch existed until it was consigned at Sotheby’s, speaking to how hush-hush Rolex goes about these sorts of things. Thirty AAA fake Rolex Daytonas were created with this dial – 15 on a white gold bracelet; 15 on a leather strap – and they were gifted to all of the Dutch players on the final-qualifying squad in addition to a few important staff members.

The Swiss made replica Rolex Sotheby’s has comes from one of the players on the team and is engraved with the individual’s last name and number on the caseback. As far as I can tell, this is the first example of the 30-piece series to become publicly available. Sotheby’s has an estimate of CHF 60,000 – 100,000.
