A special replica of the Jules Rimet trophy has fetched £395,000 ($571,367) at an auction of Brazil legend Pele's personal memorabilia.
Pele was given the one-off trophy after Brazil's 1970 World Cup glory and it was purchased at an auction in London by Swiss watchmakers Hublot, reports AFP.
"We are very pleased with the result of the Cup," Darren Julien, chief executive of Julien's Auctions told AFP.
