From May 11 to 12, 2019, Phillips held its ninth Geneva watch auction. In this auction, Phillips sold a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Reference 16528 18K gold watch (No. 23), a gift from Elton Senna.
Ayrton Senna is a famous figure in the F1 racing world, and this watch was a gift from him to Angelo Parrilla. Angelo Parrilla discovered Ayrton Senna early in his karting career and established a relationship with the then-18-year-old Brazilian, guiding him to become a great legend in F1 racing. Rolex replica.
In 1978, Ayrton Senna gave this watch to Angelo Parrilla, with the words “An Angelo da Ayrton 1978” engraved on the back of the replica watch. This watch uses the “Floating Dial” dial (the Cosmograph and other words are separated on the dial) and the Mark 1 bezel, which collectors highly prize.
The watch has a 4030 self-winding movement, an 18K gold Oyster bracelet, and an adjustable clasp. This watch was sold with a photo signed by Ayrton Senna, a protective mask, and a letter of certification from Angelo Parrilla. It was estimated to be between 100,000 and 200,000 Swiss francs before the auction.
