Top Lots -- Urwerk ($2.9 M) and Patek Philippe ($2.3 M)
In Response To: Re: Strong Result for Heuer "Piece d'Arte" ($81,250) ()

For anyone who may be interested, the top two lots in the Game Changers sale were not the "celebrity watches" (from Marlon Brando and Jack Nicklaus), but rather an Urwerk Atomic Mechanical Control, that sold for $2.9 million, and a Patek Philippe Reference 1518 (pink-on-pink), that sold for $2.3 million.

Interesting to see the different results for the Hollywood hero (Brando), the sports hero (Nicklaus) and the military / political hero (John Glenn). It's the Hollywood memorabilia that fetches the big bucks!!

And, no, I was not a bidder on the Monaco, although I really did like the watch.

: Did you bid Jeff?

: BTW, the other two sold for $1.95M and $1.22M respectively ;)
