Rockstar's 2004 open-world landmark follows Carl "CJ" Johnson home to the state of San Andreas, a satirical early-1990s California and Nevada of gang wars, casinos and celebrity. Developed by Rockstar North for PlayStation 2 and later ported widely, it embedded its consumer satire everywhere, including a parody luxury-watch economy: CJ can buy watches at the designer boutique Didier Sachs, and the fictional brand's billboards hang over Rodeo.

Watches
- Rolex Datejust
- The Gold and Silver "Crowex" watches CJ can buy at Didier Sachs, the most expensive watches in the game, are the series' standing Rolex parody: two independent community references agree the brand parodies Rolex, with the Gold and Silver Crowex based on the Rolex Datejust, and the in-game brand runs the joke openly ("When you're too rich to care what time it is" reads the 1992-set billboard slogan). Rockstar licenses no watch brand, so this is a clearly-derived look-alike cataloged as a real-adjacent appearance of the Rolex Datejust; the PS2-era wrist model itself resolves no detail narrower than the parody's stated basis.
