But where do we turn when saving up the five figures needed for an opulent watch is impossible? As it goes, Primark.
The fast fashion giant has released a Rolex dupe for a mere £10.
The affordable design is a copycat of the luxury brand's Lady-Datejust in oyster steel and yellow gold - which costs a staggering £17,300 to buy direct.
'Gold is coveted for its lustre and nobility,' a Rolex blurb reads. 'Steel reinforces strength and reliability.

'Together, they harmoniously combine the best of their properties.'
Money-saving content creator Aimee Michelle unearthed the imitation watch in her local Primark and took to Instagram to alert fellow fashionistas.
'The comparison is uncanny,' she said.
'Everything down to the fluted bezzle, the stainless steel with the gold and even the 'mother of pearl' face.

'It's the only one they have currently in store… but this is big news.'
The Primark watch's official name is The Edit Metal Watch, and it is made from 80% steel and 20% zinc.
'Add a touch of luxury to your accessories edit with this timelessly sophisticated metal watch,' high street bosses said.
The timepiece has a classic and timeless design that will be relevant and stylish throughout every season, meaning you'll get way over your £10's worth of wear.

Like the Lady-Datejust, it is smaller and more delicate compared to many other watches.
As such, it's ideal for women who prefer a more understated and elegant size without compromising on style.

Kneecap's legal team for court battle to include Julian Assange lawyer
Rapper O hAnnaidh, who performs under the name Mo Chara, will be represented by a team that includes Gareth Peirce, solicitor for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange during his fight against US extradition, and Rosalind Comyn, who has represented Extinction Rebellion protesters in court. The 27-year-old was charged by postal requisition over the alleged display of a Hezbollah flag at a gig at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, north London, in November last year. His legal team also includes Darragh Mackin from Phoenix Law, Brenda Campbell KC, Jude Bunting KC and Blinne Ni Ghralaigh KC. Mr Mackin was the solicitor for Sarah Ewart, whose successful legal challenge helped to usher in the decriminalisation of abortion in Northern Ireland, while Ms Campbell was the defence barrister in the collapsed case against Seamus Daly, who was accused of murdering people in the IRA bomb attack in Omagh in 1998. Mr Bunting acted for non-profit company Liberty in the Stansted 15's successful conviction appeal after they broke into Stansted Airport to stop a plane deporting people to Africa, which was a case Ms Ni Ghralaigh also worked on. In an Instagram post the group said: 'The British establishment is conducting a campaign against Kneecap which is to be fought in Westminster Magistrates Court… We are ready for this fight. We are proud to have such a strong legal team with us.' In May, the Metropolitan Police said Kneecap were being investigated by counter-terrorism police after videos emerged allegedly showing the band calling for the deaths of MPs and shouting 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah'. They apologised to the families of murdered MPs but said footage of the incident had been 'exploited and weaponised'. They also said they have 'never supported' Hamas or Hezbollah, which are banned in the UK. In 2024, the band released an eponymous film starring Oscar-nominated actor Michael Fassbender which is a fictionalised retelling of how the band came together and follows the Belfast group on their mission to save their mother tongue through music. Formed in 2017, the group, made up of O hAnnaidh, Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh, are known for their provocative lyrics and merchandise as well as their championing of the Irish language. Their best-known tracks include Get Your Brits Out, Better Way To Live, featuring Grian Chatten from Fontaines DC, and 3Cag. O hAnnaidh is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on June 18. His lawyers have been approached for comment.

Meghan and Harry brutally AXE host of key aides yet again after blaming them for string of PR humiliations
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE Duke and Duchess of Sussex have given their communications team the boot after blaming them for a series of PR humiliations. Harry and wife Meghan decided instead to go with the firm behind their controversial twerking video — sparking fears of a 'clickbait' approach which will horrify the Royal Family.

'No one ever seems to be good enough for them and yet they fail to understand why things don't change.' This year's embarrassments included January's take-down of Meghan in society bible Vanity. It reignited bullying allegations and was headlined 'American Hustle'. In February experts described as chaotic the rebranding of Meghan's 'American Riviera Orchard' food brand into 'As ever'. Her six-part Netflix cookery and lifesyle show was savaged by TV reviewers in both the UK and USA, while her podcast 'Confessions of a Female Founder' quickly tumbled down the ratings. Meghan, 43, was also caught out calling herself 'Her Royal Highness' in a potential breach of the 2020 Megxit agreement struck with the late Queen. The Sussexes responded by firing two directors of communications in what insiders described as a purge. UK-based Charlie Gipson went along with California-based Kyle Boulia. Deesha Tank, who worked for the couple's Archewell foundation for three years, had resigned days earlier. Meanwhile the head of content for Meghan's Instagram account also left. Several weeks ago the couple hired Emily Robinson as a new director of communications — despite her previously running ublicity for The Crown episodes which showed Harry in Nazi fancy dress and sympathetic storylines on depraved sex offender Mohammed Al-Fayed. Harry and Meghan have now brought in Method Communications, who claim they are 'disruptors' who 'challenge the status quo'. I know the exact moment Prince Harry had second thoughts about how he's treated the king It is understood one of their first acts was releasing the video of heavily pregnant Meghan dancing in a maternity as she tried to induce Lilibet's birth. The clip was widely panned but pulled in 42million views. Photos of Lilibet and six-year-old brother Archie, with their faces covered by emjois, were then posted online showing the kids in Disneyland. Their chief communications officer remains Meredith Maines, appointed in March days before Harry scuppered any hope of a reconciliation with King Charles in an angry interview with the BBC. Ms Maines said last night: 'Transitioning from a team of two to an agency support staff of eight, operating across five different time zones, will give international media and stakeholders better access.' 8 Meghan shares a video of her and Harry twerking in a hospital room Credit: Instagram 8 Meghan and Harry with Archie and Lilibet at Disneyland Credit: Instagram 8 Charlie Gipson was axed in the purge 8 California-based Kyle Boulia was also let go Credit: Getty
