A Rolex Daytona chronograph sold for a record $1.1 million at a Christie’s International auction in Geneva yesterday which raised $13.2 million, four times the presale estimate.
The 1969 stainless-steel Paul Newman-model wristwatch was sold to a buyer who wants to be anonymous, the auction house said in an e-mailed release today. The price was the highest for a Daytona at public auction. Christie’s also sold a Rolex Daytona made for the Sultan of Oman for $864,285.
