The Best Swiss Platinum Rolex Daytona Replica Watches UK That Was Never Supposed to Exist Is Finally Coming to Auction

Rolex replica watches for sale are often described in dramatic terms.

Flawless. Rare. Ruinously expensive.

Just occasionally UK AAA Rolex fake watches appears that could even be described – with a straight face – as mythical.

This May, at Sotheby’s Important Watches Sale in Geneva, one-off high quality replica Rolex Cosmograph Daytona watches, custom-made for a client, and never offered at auction, is heading to the block.

The luxury Rolex copy watches in question is a platinum ref. 16516 from 1999, set with a mother-of-pearl dial and ten diamonds.

It has an estimate of 700,000 to 1.4 million Swiss Francs – roughly £640,000 to £1.3 million.

That would already have made it a showstopper.

But then you get to the fact that this is a custom piece, made for a private client, by a brand that makes a point of saying it doesn’t do custom pieces for private clients.

For years, its very existence was the stuff of rumour and speculation.

Because here’s the kicker: platinum wasn’t even a thing for 2025 online fake Rolex Daytona watches in the late 1990s. For over a decade, you could have one in steel, two-tone, yellow or white gold – but platinum?

Nope.

Rolex didn’t begin producing platinum top Swiss replica Rolex Daytona watches in series until 2013, to celebrate the model’s 50th birthday.

Which makes this 1999 commission not only historic – but slightly rebellious.

The perfect Rolex super clone watches was one of four Daytonas made for the same family, all of which have the same reference number – the last digit of which, “6”, refers to the use of platinum.

Each one was powered by the Zenith El Primero automatic movement, and had a dial that was a complete one-off.

“This watch is unique,” says Pedro Reiser, senior specialist at Sotheby’s Watches Department in Geneva. “And the occasion of the sale is unique. These platinum Daytonas were part of a commission made directly to Rolex. They got four unique pieces out of it, each one with a different dial configuration.”

The other three have previously made it to auction at Sotheby’s, smashing their estimates.

The first, with a mother of pearl dial, sold in 2018, after confirming the existence of the cheap Rolex replica watches. The second, with a lapis lazuli dial, fetched an eye-watering HK$25.37 or £2.46 million in 2020 — more than tripling its original estimate – and at the time setting a new world record for a modern automatic Daytonas. The third, with a turquoise dial, sold for $871,000 (£657.000).

(These watches differ from the “off-catalogue” high-jewellery pieces Rolex produces in tiny numbers for sale each year, which are kept on the semi down-low, in that they were privately commissioned.)

Watch-world folklore ties the creation of the four platinum Daytonas to Patrick Heiniger, CEO of Rolex from 1992 to 2008.

Heiniger was a famously private, sharply tailored figure who turned Swiss movements Rolex fake watches from a respected Swiss maker into the global luxury juggernaut we know today.

But with that low profile and immense power came whispers, and plenty of them.

For years, collectors spoke in hushed tones about Heiniger wearing his own platinum Daytona – long before Rolex replica watches online shop ever made one publicly.

People swore they’d seen it on his wrist, but it was dismissed as watch-nerd legend.

“Those are rumours, I really don’t know for sure,” Reiser says. “It’s known that he liked platinum. Because he wore a platinum Day-Date [a model that was made in the precious metal].”

But then Sotheby’s started unearthing those platinum 16516s in 2018.

Suddenly, the myth had teeth — and collectors realised Swiss made copy Rolex watches‘ mysterious CEO may have commissioned the original secret set himself.

When Heiniger took the reins from his father André in 1992, Rolex was already a respected name. A gentleman’s brand. Swiss, solid, and quietly iconic.

But the new boss, who had a background in law and international diplomacy, had bigger plans.

Under his leadership, replica Rolex watches wholesale store went from respected to untouchable — an empire of steel and gold, woven into the fabric of sport, art, cinema and aspiration itself.

Heiniger brought production fully in-house, tightened supply, and hardened the brand’s mystique like a diamond bezel.

Rolex no longer made just watches — it made totems of success.

“Heiniger was only the third CEO Rolex every had,” says Reiser.

“Every CEO has quite a long time at Rolex. His main achievement was the vertical integration within the company, bringing the bracelet manufacturer, the dial manufacturer, also the movement manufacturer, under one roof. The movements were made off-site by a legally independent company called Rolex Bien. They were only bought by Rolex SA in 2004. which is actually not such a long time ago.

“Without Patrick Heiniger, Rolex would not be what it is today.”

After leaving Rolex fake watches for men, Heiniger more or less vanished from public view. He reportedly split his time between Europe and the Bahamas, living very much off-radar. No interviews. No business memoir. The man behind The Crown had stepped back into the shadows. (He died in 2013, aged 62.)

This final ref. 16516 – the last of the four commissioned pieces to surface, consigned by the same family – comes with all the right paperwork, plus the rarest dial of them all: shimmering mother-of-pearl, punctuated with ten brilliant-cut diamonds.

Come May, the final piece of the puzzle will fall into place.
