For the watch ring, for the watch collector, for the Rolex like friends, a big event happened. In October 26, 2017, yesterday, the late actor Paul Newman himself the Daytona successful auction, eventually to $$17752500 (price including commission) hammer, about RMB 120 million. Four auction records were refreshed directly!
These four records are the most expensive watches in the world, the most expensive steel watches in the world, the most expensive Rolex and the most expensive di tong. Prior to this, the world's most expensive watches and most expensive steel sheet is the last year to 11002000 Swiss francs (including commission price, equivalent to RMB 75 million 780 thousand) Patek Philippe Reference 1518 stainless steel hammer.

To achieve this result is impressive, although in October 26th, rich art auction house in conjunction with the Bacs Russo in New York organized by the "Winning Icons - twentieth Century watch legend" theme auction began before, many people have predicted that I would get through di Paul Newman record, but I think very few expect it will break so many records.
Before the auction, the Sotheby's auction paid more than $1 million for the watch, but they didn't expect to do so. According to Fu Yi, said the buyer bidding by telephone, the last two bid is very tight, Aurel Bacs was stopped to wait almost to tears when the last word.
What is the charm of this watch and how high it can be? In a word, because this is the Hollywood legend Paul Newman (Paul Newman) and have to wear, the one and only "Paul Newman" universe with Xingdi meter (Cosmograph Daytona) mami. For many collectors, one of the most desirable things in the collection is Ref.6239, a panda named Paul Newman. During the 20 years, Ref.6239 prices have risen like meteors, and few watches in the world can be compared with them.
Paul Newman the 6239 Daytona Rolex from 1963 to 1970 between the first launch of a number of Daytona chronograph, is the first time Rolex will speed meter directly engraved on the outermost circle table table. Collocation called Exotic face plate design, the main feature is the outer red seconds scale track, timing plate square time scale, the red Daytona on above six o'clock.
But in fact, when the original version of the Exotic dial appeared, it was not popular, and the sales volume was not good. It was Paul Newman who made it flourish again. When Paul Newman won the Daytona "wearing" (Winning) movie posters in Italy, wearing on high streets and back lanes, di Nadeng on Italy fashion magazine, attracted the attention of fans in Italy and panic buying, triggering a global table fan craze. Since then, Paul Newman has become the most famous spokesman for Di Tong, and his kind of "Di Tong" is also called "Paul Newman Di Di" directly.
This magical watch seems to have been combined with Paul Newman, and in the photos he left (in 70s and early 80s), this watch will appear. Paul Newman's behind this move is to let people admire the romantic and delicate feelings of husband and wife. Because this is a gift from his wife, Joanna.
As we all know, in addition to the actor, Paul Newman is a real racer, even in 1979 in the 24 hours of Le Mans (24 Hours of Le Mans) won the runner up endurance events. This was Paul Newman's wife, who bought it in Tiffany in the late 60s, and spent about $300, when his husband's racing career was just beginning. The inscription of "DRIVE CAREFULLY ME" engraved on his back is the wife's deep concern for Paul Newman.
In 1980 years, however, Paul Newman himself had disappeared, and nobody knew where it was going. Now people know, Paul Newman handed this table to his daughter Nell Newman (pictured right), then boyfriend James Cox. It was the summer of 1984. James stayed at Newman's house for a holiday. One day, Paul was preparing to adjust his watch and asked James what time it was. "I don't know. I don't have a watch.". "James said," Paul was surprised, and then he took off his watch and gave it to James, and said to him, "give it a chain, and it will tell you the exact time.". "
So far, Nell and James are still close friends, and she and she decided to auction the watch and donate some of the proceeds to the Paul Newman foundation. James said, "if Paul were alive, I would tell him," do you know how valuable your watch is to me? I think he might ask me, what are you going to do with the watch? Children。 "The Paul Newman Daytona Mami, the current state of preservation is very good. And the price of 120 million, also shows the pursuit of collectors.
