One of the greatest drivers in F1 history, Michael Schumacher gifted this extraordinary watch to Nigel Stepney following the events of the 2000 Spanish Grand Prix—and now it could be yours.
In the aftermath of a pit stop incident during the race, Schumacher presented senior Ferrari team member Stepney with his own Rolex Daytona Ref. 16518 as a gesture of goodwill. This exceptional timepiece remains in remarkable condition and features a rare mother-of-pearl dial, further distinguished by Schumacher’s name engraved on the case back.
The watch is accompanied by its original lacquered wooden Rolex presentation box, which Schumacher personally inscribed in metallic gold ink with the dedication: “To Nigel 2000!”
