The World's Ugliest Rolex - Yours for $46,000
The world's ugliest Rolex, a custom leopard print diamond and sapphire Cosmograph Daytona, has turned up for sale via global online luxury marketplace JamesList for $46,000. Unsurprisingly, the hideous timepiece has never been worn, and is being offered for sale in glitzy Miami Beach. The special edition watch has an 18k yellow gold case with 36 baguette cognac sapphires, 48 diamonds on the end pieces, and a leopard print dial festooned with another eight diamonds. It comes on a leopard print leather strap with an 18k yellow gold deployable clasp. The aesthetic travesty is all the more unfortunate because the Daytona in classic stainless steel is considered by many to be Rolex's most attractive model. Designed as the ultimate timing tool for endurance races, the Daytona is made to allow the driver to map his course times accurately and determine how he must drive in order to achieve victory. Try even figuring out what time it is on this spotted nightmare.
UPDATE: An astute reader has spotted this monstrosity on the wrist of Vanessa Bryant, wife of L.A. Lakers star Kobe Bryant, at a White House ceremony. Good lord, there's more than one of them.

I believe the correct nomenclature for that particular timepiece is the " BROLEX"
DCB Jan 26th 2010 6:51PM
I think it's pretty : )

"beauty is in the eye of the beholder". i was ready for something real shocking. this watch is far from being ugly, i think it is rather attractive.
lindsay Jan 26th 2010 5:32PM
Ok, so i'm a little obsessed with leopard print, and if you can get the feathered hat and shiny shoes pimp-esque image out of your head, i think this could be worn in a fashionable way! i love it.

It was probably made to match the owner's tiger-striped Bentley...
I wonder what it says about a celebrity when he/she wears a US$20 Casio digital watch?
Linda Mack Jan 26th 2010 6:23PM
It is hideous and way too expensive. We didn't spend that much buying our home.
Rae Jan 30th 2010 12:24PM
i'll take it if they want to sell it for less or even better - give it away!
h Jan 26th 2010 7:59PM
i love the pattern and the audacity of rolex in making something so limited in appeal. it definitely needs the $46k price tag and if i had the money (extra, just lying around money), i'd definitely pick one up and wear it quite nonchalantly

Like driving a Rolls Royce with 22" "spinners" blasting out some mumbling jibberish by Kanye West ... ..... .......

The More U GUESS, The More U KNOW...Wink!
kristin Jan 26th 2010 7:51PM

Faye Jan 26th 2010 8:03PM
HAH! I love it! I'd wear it...looks like a beautiful bracelet to me...with a clock on it. ummmm...
kikitamurti Jan 26th 2010 8:32PM
Wow I actually really love it...I would wear it for sure.
TPJ Jan 26th 2010 8:47PM
I'm glad to see so many people do like it as much as I do. As for Jennifer, that was such a stupid predjudice comment.
GPUPPY1 Jan 26th 2010 8:52PM
I think all Rolex watches are ugly.
terrendon Jan 26th 2010 9:08PM
Even if I had it I wouldn't spend that kind of money on any watch.
David Jan 26th 2010 9:19PM
Wow, that's ugly!! If it were cheaper every guido from that Jersey Shore show would own one. I know different things appeal to different people but..damn..thats' really awful.

BLING,BLING! That thing was MADE for a rapper!
