Way too much for me, beautiful piece but not practical to wear? Where would you wear that to? How many events can you attend . Too much bling for me.

Definitely a piece unique…Bravo..

Don’t know the history of that one, but Rolex did make 25 with less
ice on it a few years back that I saw at Fourtane in Carmel.

Incredible. Who said that platinum was a tough metal to work with?

This piece belongs to a Singaporean collector that I saw on Instagram. It has a unique reference number. In addition to being made in platinum something that the Yacht Master collection is not available.
I was unaware that Rolex made one off models and from what I understand last year they made a Sea Dweller in white gold completely in baguette cut diamonds (attached photo). Rumor has it that the list price is about 6 million which would make it by far the most expensive Rolex to come out of the factory. If any member who has access to My Rolex World Service can give us more details

It's gorgeous and stunning in the same way a Faberge egg is, but I don't know about actually wearing it...

Actually, robbers are watching the same social media posts and have caught onto everyone saying that "plain jane watches hold more value and diamond watches ruin value". If you look up armed robberies of watches and deaths, most of them will be plain jane. Here's a list

The 49ers player was shot in San Francisco over a datejust 41.
https://apnews.com/article/ricky-pea...b1657272b89666

Here's a guy that was murdered bc they wanted his fake 5712
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cpe0z59kp00o

Here's a guy that got robbed of his aquanaut
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...h-Mayfair.html

Here's a report of multiple aquanauts stolen
https://www.instagram.com/p/C_meRrLs...V2YTM5eA%3D%3D
Also diamond watches have proven to increase in value as well. Last year Rolex paid $4m for a 6270, first gemset daytona.

I know people get robbed with all types of expensive watches. My point is that this thing will call plenty of bad attention and in my opinion too loud. Again, I don't like it, and I would never wear it. Different strokes for different folks.

They were taken from a collector's Instagram post.
The only models with emeralds that come to mind are the Day Date ref 228236 TEM and the Submariner 116649 EMBR that even came with the dedicated book
