Auction house Christie’s in New York is set to offer up its most expensive watch ever – a limited-edition Richard Mille – alongside rare timepieces, such as ones that once belonged to a former US president and an Apollo 7 astronaut.
The transparent Richard Mille wristwatch, with a complex sapphire case design and sapphire crystal skeletonized tourbillon, is expected to sell for up to $4 million at auction at Christie’s Rockefeller Center on June 10. One of only 10 editions, the timepiece will be auctioned as part of the “Important Watches” sale that offers high-quality wristwatches “encapsulating the rich heritage of the history of watchmaking,” Christie’s said in a press release.
Also on offer is a rare stainless steel Rolex Daytona wristwatch with a “Paul Newman” dial and bracelet that was reportedly worn by late NASA astronaut Walter Cunningham in space, according to the auction house. It is expected to sell for up to $450,000. Cunningham, who died last year, was selected to pilot Apollo 7, the first crewed mission of the NASA program launched in 1968 that went on to land humans on the moon for the first time.
