ROLEX DAYTONA<br />
‘PAUL NEWMAN’<br />
WRISTWATCH<br />
Soars above estimate to US$947,776 at Sotheby’s Sale<br />
of Important Watches auction in Geneva<br />
An extraordinarily rare Rolex Daytona ‘Paul Newman’ wristwatch, reference 6239, made<br />
in 1969, with highly-coveted ‘tropical’ subsidiary dials was the star of Sotheby’s spring<br />
sale of Important Watches in Geneva recently. This colour-change effect is one of the<br />
most coveted features on today’s auction market. The iconic wristwatch eclipsed the<br />
pre-sale estimate to sell for estimate $208,000-416,000. The more than 1000 registrants<br />
participating in today’s sale drove the total to $6,566,165, an increase of over 26%<br />
compared with the sale of Important Watches in November last year.<br />
