Notes
Never having appeared at auction before, these 2 Rolex memorabilia are very interesting. Firstly due to the fact that none have appeared at auction before but also because the star decorations under the Rolex crown on both items are exactly similar but even more unusual is the fact that they are both numbered indicating what seems a small run of 30 lighters and 50 knives. A must-have for the collector of unusual Rolex items.
Provenance
Property of a Belgian Gentleman
