Nice catch! It's the second time I see it. It was abou 7 years ago I saw it the last time.
I think that this watch was made to inaugurate the reentry of their competition race.. after a terrible accident. But maybe I'm wrong here.
Hi Martin,
I did some more research and found out that there are some Mercedes selling Points called Mercedes-Benz Spot in Italy: http://www.mercedes-benz-spot.it/
They offer also a Mercedes-Benz fashion colletion and other accessories and the watch was made for them to sell in their accessories collection.

Using historical Lira rates for the 27th Feb. 1999 that watch cost then at list €2,055- What an amazing investment.
Well done and wear in good health.
Best regards
Mark
