The problem with Harry Kane’s £1 million Rolex Daytona from the Ballon d’Or

Harry Kane wore the legendary Rolex Daytona at the Ballon d Or ceremony – but not the right one In 1979, when Trevor Francis became Britain s first-ever million-pound football player, it generated headlines around the world. The British press and parliament treated it like a moral crisis. Could anyone really be worth seven figures? Today, a player can wear that amount on his wrist and it barely causes a ripple on the gossip pages. Today, the question is whether a watch can really be worth seven figures. If you were to ask me whether, in a perfect world, I would blow over a million quid on a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Blue Sapphire Daytona: Ref. 126599TSA, as worn by Harry Kane when he accepted his Ballon d’Or, I d have to say ‘no’. Which is odd, because I love Rolex Daytonas. I have, on occasion, considered swapping one of my kidneys for a 1964 Rolex Daytona Ref: 6239. It s a truly sexy beast, where Harry s timepiece is more Ray Winstone in his golden budgie smuggler
