ROLEX

That’s the incredible final sale price of Paul Newman's Rolex Daytona, which went up for sale in October in New York. Worn by the racing driver and actor for many years, the watch had remained in remarkably good condition. Pre-sale estimates were hovering around the US$1 million mark, so the final sale price took everyone by surprise. It smashed the world record and became the most expensive watch ever to be sold at auction.

US$17.8M
