On August 24, 2010, to commemorate his perfect game, Halladay presented around 60 Swiss-made [[Baume et Mercier|Baume and Mercier]] watches he had purchased to everyone in the clubhouse. The watches were presented in brown boxes that bore the inscription: "We did it together. Thanks, Roy Halladay." Additionally, the back of each watch was engraved with the date of the game, the line score, and the individual recipient's name.<ref>{{cite news|last=Gelb|first=Matt|date=August 25, 2010|title=A perfect gift|newspaper=[[The Philadelphia Inquirer]]|url=http://www.philly.com/inquirer/sports/20100825_Phillies_Extra.html|url-status=dead|access-date=August 27, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100827011344/http://www.philly.com/inquirer/sports/20100825_Phillies_Extra.html|archive-date=August 27, 2010}}</ref>
