Earlier, social media buzzed with reports about Rolex watches given to players of the Indonesian national team. President Prabowo reportedly handed out the gifts after hosting a lunch at his residence on Friday (June 6, 2025). The event took place just a day after Indonesia’s 1–0 victory over the Philippines in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers.
After the lunch, people saw the players carrying black gift bags. Several of them shared “unboxing” moments of the luxury watches on Instagram Stories.
One notable post came from Justin Hubner (@justinhubner5), showing the signature green Rolex box containing a GMT-Master II 40mm watch.
The official Rolex website listed the watch at approximately Rp193,782,000 as of Friday (June 7, 2025). Rolex crafted the timepiece from Oystersteel, a 904L-grade stainless steel they developed exclusively. This material offers exceptional resistance to corrosion.
The gift is not just a token of appreciation. It also serves as a symbol of national pride and recognition of the players’ hard work and dedication.
