  Appreciation of the world's most expensive Rolex watch

  After months of anticipation, watch enthusiasts from around the world gathered together in the auction hall of the Hôtel La Réserve in Geneva to witness this historic moment.

  Ref.6062 "Bao Dai" is considered by the collecting community to be one of the most valuable and desirable Rolex watches to acquire. This is a triple calendar moonphase gold watch, and there are only three pieces in total of the same version (black dial, diamond hour markers) of the Ref.6062, while the "Bao Dai" is the only one with diamonds set at the even-numbered hour markers.

  The original owner of this watch was the last emperor of Vietnam, Nguyen Phuc Vinh Thuy (reign name Bao Dai). When this watch appeared on the market in 2002, Phillips sold it for a record price, making it the highest-priced Rolex timepiece sold at auction (at the time). The auction price at that time was 235,000 US dollars; in other words, after 15 years, the value of this watch has increased by 21 times. (Image/Text Watch Home Xu Chaoyang)

  Review:

  ◆ As a representative masterpiece of diving watches, the Rolex Green Submariner is definitely a leader among diving timepieces. If you want a true diving watch, you might want to consider it;

  ◆ The dial size of 40MM is moderate, making it suitable for all wrist sizes. It can be paired with both formal and casual wear. Compared to the black or white of ordinary watches, the emerald green dial of the Rolex Green Submariner is a colour that is relatively difficult for most people to pull off, but it is also a very show-stopping colour, suitable for those who pursue individuality.

  ◆ The price remains consistent with the previous selling price of V6, and it is also equipped with A2836 and SA3135 movements, ensuring accurate timekeeping and bringing everyone a perfect timing experience.

  Conclusion:Rolex is widely praised for its robustness and durability, and another key factor is the brand's exceptional capacity for innovation. Finally, I recommend this perfect replica Rolex watch, which comes with a quality guarantee. Those wishing to purchase a Rolex can add me on WeChat to learn more.
