The celebrity effect has once again made Rolex watches a hot topic.

Celebrity Effect and Rolex Watches

In the watch world filled with celebrity aura, the Rolex 126518LN-0012 once sparked a craze in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan due to the influence of Shawn Yue. Now, the 126519LN-0006 has also become a hot topic after Olympic gold medalist Quan Hongchan posted a photo on Weibo wearing the watch. However, this exposure seems to have been a bit of a “Waterloo,” as netizens not only refrained from rushing to buy it but also left quite a few negative comments. In the end, the truth was revealed: the watch actually belonged to Paris Olympic gold medalist Yang Hao, and Quan Hongchan was merely “borrowing the flower to present to the Buddha.”

Both of these watches are part of the Cosmograph Daytona series, sharing the same size, bezel, strap, chronograph, and waterproof features, making them “twin brothers.”

Current Market Reaction

Although Quan Hongchan made the 126519LN-0006 a topic of discussion, the 126518LN YML caused greater market price fluctuations due to Shawn Yue’s celebrity effect in the past. The official price for the 126519LN is HKD 274,200, while the 126518LN YML is HKD 261,600, but the market prices are quite the opposite. This may be because market speculation is not as intense as it was back then, and even with celebrity endorsement, the past frenzy cannot be recreated.

Both watches have their unique features, whether you prefer the understated luxury of white gold or the flashy opulence of gold, consumers can find their ideal choice in the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona series. Ultimately, the selection should be based on personal taste and needs, ensuring that every consumer can own a watch that matches their style. After all, the one that suits you best is the best choice!
