If a standard Rolex GMT-Master II seems just too common for you, this truly unique version might tickle your fancy (and drain your wallet, at the same time). It’s the result of a collaboration between Artisans de Genève and famous con-artist turned FBI consultant and crime expert Frank Abagnale, Jr., who was portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio in the 2002 film Catch Me If You Can. The customized watch is actually based on the restored and customized Rolex owned by Abignale, himself. The inspired timepiece gets a hand-painted two-tone creme dial, blue and red hands, bakelite bezel with a special ’60s font, as well as a custom rotor, bridges, and a power reserve of 70 hours. The limited edition Rolex is available for pre-order now.
