Prices range between approximately Rs 3000 and Rs 19 lakhs.Rolex Yacht Master IIAmong the most sought-after items are two Rolex Yacht Master II watches with a starting price of Rs 16.5 lakh, which have garnered more than a dozen bids.

When required, officials deposited such gifts in the company’s treasury for later use in exchange with other rulers.In modern India, all gifts received by the Prime Minister and other officials from overseas must be deposited in the Toshakhana for evaluation.
