    A Rolex Oyster GMT-Master in 18ct. gold.
    "This watch is perfect for me," he says, "because it simultaneously tells me the time in two different countries which is extremely useful considering the amount of traveling I have to do. And opera people all over the world are pleased too, because now I don’t get them out of bed when I ring them. And, unlike me, this watch never needs a rest. You could say it’s my favorite instrument. "
