Sylvester Stallone is auctioning 11 watches from his personal collection at a Sotheby’s sale in New York, with one piece expected to sell for up to $5 million.
Shortly after Sylvester Stallone finished filming “Rocky,” the movie that launched his Hollywood career, he saw Gregg Allman, from the Allman Brothers Band, who had fallen asleep and had left his arm hanging in the aisle with a distinctive gold watch on his wrist. That watch was the “most beautiful thing I’d ever seen,” Stallone said in a video released by Sotheby’s, and sparked a decades-long love of watch collecting.
“I had to appeal to certain powers that be, write many letters to the board and eventually it was determined that I was going to be the owner of one of these magnificent pieces of art.” Other memorabilia comes with the watch too, including a presentation box engraved with Stallone’s name and an iPad and Airpods each complete with a Patek Phillipe case. Another Patek Philippe watch, this one from its Nautilus family, is expected to sell for up to $400,000.
