Watch Harry Kane Ridiculed For His Rolex Rainbow Daytona Protest 26 Novembre 2022 Direzione Rolex’s 18ct gold Daytona with a gem-set rainbow bezel has a market value of around £500,000. As protests go, it was very much in the style of a Premier League multimillionaire and, while some on social media called the gesture “stunning and brave”, others were less generous. “Utterly ridiculous, a £500k watch while the rest of the UK is begging. He’s in cuckoo land,” said a tweet, striking the tone for many. Making a point so subtly and ostentatiously may have worked to needle Fifa for its armband ban. After all, the organisation is no stranger to arm twisting through the use of luxury watches. Back in 2014, football’s governing body was rocked by scandal when goodie bags handed to all 28 members of Fifa’s executive committee at the Brazil World Cup contained £16,000 Parmigiani watches. They were later donated to charity. Mr Kane’s choice of a Rolex Rainbow Daytona may simply have been made because he had it in his watch roll in Doha, but there are plenty of other watches he might have used to make the same statement. Accurist makes a model with a similar rainbow bezel for £179, and it is a British business. Or how about this Swatch? Normally £66, but available for £62 today because it’s Black Friday. The golden Daytona with its rainbow coloured gem-set bezel is one of the most desirable watches in the current Rolex catalogue. Only a handful are produced each year by Rolex because of the difficulty in sourcing perfectly calibrated sapphires of the right colour to construct the rainbow adorning the bezel. The retail price is under £100,000, but demand exceeds supply by such a margin that they are advertised online with prices of £500,000 or more.
