France slaps Rolex with $100-M fine

[ad_1]

PARIS: France’s competition regulator on Tuesday imposed a fine of 91.6 million euros on the local subsidiary of Swiss luxury watch manufacturer Rolex for blocking retailers from selling online.

The regulator said it considered that the prohibition Rolex had imposed on retailers restricted competition and rejected the argument that the ban on online selling was justified by the need to combat counterfeiting and parallel trade.
