Rolex 12
In the Philippines, a group of Ferdinand Marco's closest confidants in his government was designated as the Rolex 12 . The name came about because Marcos is said to have personally given each of these confidants a Rolex . This has been denied time and again, but this term is used again and again when referring to Marcos' confidante.
