This must be the most expensive cheese knife ever sold. Over the weekend at the Monaco Legend Group auctions, a sharp yellow blade meant for dicing up Gruyères and Comtés, with the phrase “It’s a Good Watch” printed on it, hammered for $3.5 million. Oh, and it also happened to come with a one-of-12 Rolex chronograph that was never made available to the public. The sale price set a record for both cheese cutters and this particular sought-after 1:1 UK Rolex replica watches.
The Rolex 4113 is no stranger to breaking auction records. In 2011, it became the first Rolex ever to cross the million-dollar mark. So what makes it so special? For starters, it’s incredibly rare. Rolex only made 12 of these high quality fake watches in the 1940s, and they were never sold publicly. These pieces were originally designed for aviation but, according to Monaco Legend Group, race car drivers adopted them as well. Instead of selling them, Rolex gave them to members of various racing teams, making them even more exclusive and attractive eight decades later. Another feather in this model’s cap is that it’s the only split-seconds chronograph Rolex ever made. (A split-seconds chrono, or rattrapante, is a feature that allows the wearer to time intervals, like a lap function on a stopwatch.)
About that cheese knife: This particular 4113 was last owned by the beloved collector Auro Montanari, who writes books under the pen name John Goldberger. This exact best copy watches was seen on the cover of his book 100 Superlative Rolex Watches. In a 2013 Hodinkee video, Goldberger used a knife to pop open the luxury replica watches‘ caseback to the delight and alarm of viewers. “Did he just open up the caseback of his million-dollar-plus Rolex 4113 with his cheese knife?” someone commented. That’s now a $3 million-plus Rolex, dude.
Replica Rolex Daytona “Paul Newman Lemon” Watches (871,000 euros; roughly $928,076)
What’s cooler than Swiss made replica Rolex Daytona Paul Newman watches? How about one with a yellow dial and yellow-gold case known as the Lemon? (I prefer the Italians’ nickname for it: limoncino.) Bonus provenance for my fashionheads out there: The super clone watches for sale comes from Renato Della Valle, who was CEO of Giorgio Armani from 1975 to 1978, according to Monaco Legend Group.
Fake Cartier Helm Watches ($380,805)
This top replica watches is known as the Gouvernail, French for “rudder.” I’m in on the nautical theme, but my eyes see the helm of a pirate ship instead. No matter what the results of this Rorschach test, this is an incredibly cool Cartier and more proof that no one makes more distinctive and enchanting shapes than the Parisian jeweler.
Cartier Grand Carrè Coins Rondi Replica Watches ($66,463)
Another super rare (but less funky) Cartier piece went up for sale in Monaco this weekend. While it looks slightly like a Tank that got steamrolled, the square Grand Carrè is a very uncommon sight. The cheap 2024 fake Cartier watches was a gift to F.J. Heraty, an officer and instructor at West Point, from his then new father-in-law. According to the inscription, Heraty received the replica watches online for Christmas in 1927 from an S.A. Megeath. A newspaper clipping from that same year shows that Heraty married Virginia Megeath, the eldest daughter of Mr. Samuel A. Megeath.
