This is Rolex’s official statement on the sale:
“Inspired by the four seasons, these unique Cosmograph Daytona watches showcase Rolex’s expertise in gem-setting – a rare and refined expression of watchmaking excellence that brings together precision, creativity and beauty.
More than exceptional timepieces, these watches carry a deeper meaning. Proceeds from the auction will benefit the Federer Foundation and Re:wild, co-founded by Leonardo DiCaprio: two organizations whose respective missions – supporting young people and protecting nature – resonate with Rolex’s vision for a more sustainable planet.
Through this initiative, Rolex underscores its belief that true excellence is measured not only by the quality of its products, but also by the positive impact it can have on the world.”
