The Pacman, Rolex and Patek


World Champion Boxer is a big Rolex fan. While Lucerne Jewellers commissioned Victorinox (based on a Maverick II chronograph) to make two different limited Edition Watches for Manny Pacquiao in the past year which it sold through it retail outlets.


However, almost every time I see a picture of Manny Pacquio sporting a watch, it is a Rolex. Everything from the relatively inexpensive white faced Rolex Milgauss, to the coveted Rolex Daytona and even to an ultra expensive Rolex Day-Date President with jewels adorning the bezel and the entire length of the bracelet.

I don't suppose there is any chance Rolex may consider making the Pacman one of their Ambassadors? Just a thought Mr. Meier.

Might be a bit too late though. Of late, the Pacman has been seen sporting a more subdued Patek Philippe on a black leather strap on his wrist. Rolex and Patek, the man has taste.
