Billed as one of the most important Rolex Daytonas ever to be offered at auction, EricClapton's rare Rolex is coming to auction this spring.
Billed as one of the most important Rolex Daytonas ever to be offered at auction, it is the only known yellow-gold Reference 6239 with a “Pulsations” dial. This means the outer track has a scale that can measure a pulse by starting the chronograph and stopping after counting 15 heartbeats in the case of the dial.
The English guitarist first acquired the watch in Italy in the ‘90s, before it was then sold at auction in 2003. The auction house says it has been well-preserved over the years, despite its tenure with rock royalty. As a result, the Crazy Doc is expected to realize in excess of $1.6 million.
“These are watches that will attract the budding enthusiast and speak to the seasoned collector,” Alexandre Ghotbi, head of watches, Continental Europe & Middle East, and Tiffany To, head of sale, Geneva, said in a statement. “However, what they all have in common is their rarity, state of preservation and relevance.”
