Description
This is a watch you don’t get the opportunity to own every day. In fact you may never ever get the opportunity again.
I have agonised for a long long time as to whether or not I should even be putting this up for sale, but deep down I know that when some battered old military piece becomes available I will just let it go anyway…
Rolex sponsor a handful of the biggest Yacht races in the world and this was their inaugural event for the world recognised Antigua Yacht Week from 2006.

Make no mistake this is an extremely rare piece that comes with all the provenance you would ever desire:
- Rare and unique Winners Yacht Presentation Box
- Winners Rolex Submariner with case engraved Antigua 2006
- Punched and dealer stamped Antigua Rolex papers and booklets
- Photographs from the presentation and event
- The all important official winner correspondence from Rolex Geneva
Not many modern day watches have that ‘something special’ about them nor have REAL potential to be very big long term investment pieces.
This piece in my opinion has exactly that – it ticks all the boxes for being not available to the general public, rare in it’s numbers issued, accompanied by all the correct paperwork and provenance and yet something you could wear regularly knowing nobody you ever meet is likely to own one!
Please don’t be surprised if I do remove this from sale though….it keeps telling me I’m making a mistake.
