In his new track “It’s Up,” Drake boasts of having “143 Rolexes in my collection.” True or not, it’s safe to say that the Canadian chart-topper’s most precious Rollie can’t hold a candle to the one rival rap royal Jay-Z was seen wearing at a celebrity soiree in the Hamptons last month. At the annual White Party, hosted by billionaire e-commerce mogul Michael Rubin at his $50 million estate in Water Mill, Jay was joined by Beyonce, Drake, Tom Brady, Kim Kardashian, and Emily Ratajkowski at the ultra-exclusive event. The hip-hop legend turned heads even among that A-list crowd by sporting ultra-rare perfect Swiss replica Rolex Daytona ref. 6270 watches, of which only a handful of examples are known to exist.
The price tag? A cool $4 million, which is how much one of these iconic 1:1 AAA Rolex fake watches sold for at auction in 2023. Perhaps the most expensive Daytona ever made by Rolex itself, in 18k gold with factory-set diamonds and sapphires, the high quality Rolex copy watches are based on the iconic Ref. 6263 and was originally made for the Sultan of Oman over a couple of years from 1984-86.
One of the hyper-rare luxury Rolex replica watches sold for around $1 million in 2014 at Christie’s before Phillips broke the record with the $4 million sale last year. It is not yet known which one of the best China Rolex super clone watches made its way into Jay-Z’s collection. He also owns a vintage stainless steel “Paul Newman” Rolex Daytona fake watches for men, among other pieces.
Based on the iconic Ref. 6263, the solid gold Ref. 6270 is sized at 37mm chronograph and powered by a cal. 727 mechanical movement featuring a pavé diamond-set dial, sapphire-set numerals, gold baton hands, and a baguette-cut diamond-set bezel. Christie’s called it no less than a “masterpiece” and one of the most significant Swiss movements replica Rolex watches of its era.
Phillips said that only the Sultan of Oman, perhaps Swiss made Rolex fake watches’ most important client ever, could have convinced the otherwise staid Swiss luxury watch brand to produce such a flashy watch, which was “beyond outlandish” for the time. “Now of course bejeweled Daytonas are all the rage, but 40 years ago it was unheard of,” notes Paul Altieri, Founder and CEO of high-end luxury timepiece retailer Bob’s Watches, who himself owns one of the world’s top wholesale UK Rolex replica watches collections. “With time however this piece has morphed into a true classic.”
Altieri says that, “For a diamond studded Daytona, the 6270 is relatively understated, and has cool vintage appeal, unlike the current “Rainbow” Rolex Daytona copy watches shop. It is quite simply one of the most important Rolexes ever made, and is sure to only increase in value over time.” A highly wearable investment, in other words.
