For every piece sold, The Watches of Switzerland Group donated £1000 to The Princes Trust, and Rolex donated another £1000.

Clare Crabb, north regional director at The Prince’s Trust, was handed a cheque for £300,000 this morning from The Watches of Switzerland Group chief executive Brian Duffy and Rolex UK managing director Richard De Leyser.
