Two Rolex Daytonas that once belonged to Paul Newman sold separately for about $1.1 million each in an auction held on Friday, June 9, at Sotheby’s in New York.
Newman’s former timepieces went to bidders who engaged on the phone with Leigh Safar, the vice president and specialist in Sotheby’s watches department, and the auction house confirmed the sales. It is unclear whether the same bidder got both of Newman’s Daytonas.
