So I've finally been able to find one. It took me quite a while to locate one and not an easy find. It's a Rolex green crown crystal paperweight made by the renown Italian crystal maker, Salviati, in Venice, Italy. These were only handed to VIP customers at the Basel 2006 show.

Here's a shot with my Sub LV anniversary:
