Important Watches

Paul Newman Rolex Daytona watches are part of the racing industry, Hollywood culture, and vintage Americana. The first series of this luxury watch was often sported by Newman, the actor and racecar driver, and has since become a popular chronograph wristwatch for racers. The upcoming auction offered by Fortuna Auction is set to feature a 1969 Paul Newman dial watch with applied hour markers and chronograph sub-registers.

A Richard Mille RM-07 ladies wristwatch is another mentionable piece. The 18 karat white gold and diamond watch has a partially skeletonized face and teardrop hour markers. Another featured lot is a Cartier Crash limited edition wristwatch. The “Crash” was invented when Cartier craftsmen saw a colleague’s badly melted watch and were reminded of Salvador Dali’s Surrealist paintings. Timepieces by Audemars Piguet, Harry Winston, Patek Philippe, and Hublot will also be included in this auction. Explore the full listings and register to bid online on bidsquare.
