People have way too much money. Period.

And that’s for sure tiffany and co? They started with the 10m bid

Houstongator · 27 October 2017, 09:35 AM

WOW
Almost as enjoyable as the Astros last night.

Ruud Van Driver · 27 October 2017, 09:35 AM

I said 12 to 15 million in Trace’s poll/thread on this, so not a million miles out.

Vaxe · 27 October 2017, 09:39 AM

Awesome event!

15.5 + Plus buyers premium + tax. 17.752 is inclusive of buyers premium. Hammer price does not include buyers premium, during the auction the auctioneer commented that 15.5 will be less than 20 million all in taxes + buyers premium. NYC sales tax on 15.5 would be 1.35 which is less than the number Phillips specifies.

Some info: https://www.phillips.com/article/176...ry-paul-newman

SOLD FOR $17,752,500 Source: https://www.phillips.com/detail/ROLEX/NY080117/8

Wow! Incredible!

5253Reynolds · 27 October 2017, 09:59 AM

The salad dressing and frozen pizza guy. Why does anyone care about his watch?

WEST HAM ROLEX · 27 October 2017, 10:00 AM

Don't know about you guys, but my bid limit was 12M

breitlings · 27 October 2017, 10:00 AM

apparently the first tt Daytona sold for 218k https://www.phillips.com/detail/ROLEX/NY080117/10
a gold daytona hit 200k https://www.phillips.com/detail/ROLEX/NY080117/22

a bunch of rolexes realized or exceeded their estimates tonight: https://www.phillips.com/auctions/auction/NY080117

bjw · 27 October 2017, 10:22 AM

I wonder if it includes a travel pouch and microfiber cloth ?

tonupbklyn · 27 October 2017, 10:24 AM

rolex75216 · 27 October 2017, 10:24 AM

It was easy to watch it. Bobs Watches, which I follow on Instagram, had it live. It was pretty cool, and short and sweet

That's a lot of ceramic Daytonas

Just watched a reply on the Instagram. Wasn’t sure if it was tiffanys or the lady was named Tiffany. Wouldn’t be surprised though.

Kostas · 27 October 2017, 10:39 AM

Nice ! Unbelievable price !

I guess that price means congratulations to all Daytona owners especially discontinued models :)

Didn't the proceeds go to charity? It seems that helps nudge people towards higher prices sometimes.

But really I think people just bought into the hype on this one. Just a giant stroke of marketing genius on the entire industry's part.

I'm more concerned with a 1016 going for 40k cause I was hoping to pick one up in the next few years lol.

Wildy · 27 October 2017, 10:53 AM

Crazy. He was an actor, hardly Sir Edmund Hillary. The hype these days is a joke.

GB-man · 27 October 2017, 10:54 AM

Well I was way off. I thought 7-9 million.

I'll have the 1518 all day over this but I digress. Without provenance what is this a 100k watch?

kcmo · 27 October 2017, 10:55 AM

Unbelievable

singe89 · 27 October 2017, 10:56 AM

Really fun to watch and such an amazing piece of history!

Always wonder at these auctions now if the manufacture is creating a bidding war ala Patek. $20m all in is nothing for Rolex to pay for marketing and create huge demand in the vintage and secondary markets.

toucan · 27 October 2017, 10:56 AM

My 11 year old said that's an ugly watch! LOL

He was also an accomplished race driver, but I still agree. I wonder what Kanye's personal pair of sneakers will go for in 30 years?
