After reaching into the cushions, the woman pulled out a timepiece, which happened to be a vintage Rolex Daytona 6241 “Paul Newman”. “And the Paul Newman variants of vintage Daytonas - characterised by a very particular dial style - are downright legendary.” Paul Newman’s own watch broke the record for the most expensive watch ever sold at auction in 2017, according to Altieri, for a price of $15.5m. After confirming the watch was a genuine vintage Rolex Daytona 6241 Paul Newman, Altieri offered to buy it from the woman for $250,000.
