Phillips Auction of Legendary Paul Newman Daytona 

Probably only number he has learned... :-D

I'd hedge a bet that he's probably Swiss. Swiss people usually speak at the very least German, French and English; but usually Italian an as well.

he is Swiss. You can tell by the way he pronounced "zwölf Millionen"

i can say that in 5 languages. Albanian, Greek, Italian, English and German. Whats so badass about it? I dont see it.

Albanian language? Never heard about that language nor country. You mean Serbia dont you?

Peasants with 2-6 millions...wow

Natalie was paid by them to raise the price deliberately

🧐

Inside bid.

It’s a good thing you’re not arrogant.

They already know what to bid. The delays are consortiums that need approval to go higher.

haha

and he is taking a HUUUUUGE risk then

“I’ll offer you $50, I have to frame it and put some money in to display it. Not everyday do I have someone coming in asking for Paul Newman’s Rolex, this can bankrupt my business”

Haha

Appraiser : its worth well more than 17m dollars Rick : ok so... howd you feel about 10 bucks ?

Bruv its not she who bought it. She is just the middle person. On the other end is a MAN who buys it

@Asher Malcom would smash, no doubt.

Tiffany is visible in the Mr Porter interview of the auctioneer of this video at 3:39

The guys who buy this things are not in the room , she is just a middleman with someone on the phone.

WE KNOW TIFFANY ISN'T BUYING THE WATCH!! but she's gotta be better looking that gavel-boy! and what about natalie?!?!

With due respect, I feel insulted by your comment, my comment wasn’t intended to be a joke 😠

Oh my God, I am so happy to hear this here, I got introduced to Mr. Alberto some two weeks ago, it still feels like a dream, so far I have made over $7,000 trading with him, at this rate I am sure I am on my way to becoming a millionaire.

I will only accept your apology under the condition that you will introduce me to him and I too will start making profit

Thanks for the help everyone, I will contact him immediately 👍

I guess because the guys running Rolex are good businessmen a don't piss money away. Agree that Newman was a great man!.

It's the most iconic watch?? Many didn't cared about it until it was sold for 17.8 M Or you can say it got iconic after it was sold for 17.8 Million

I doubt they care lol

In another 100 years people won't know who Paul Newman was and the market value will be one / twentieth of it's current sale price . Personally I think Paul Newman was the coolest actor of my ( currently 60 years ) lifetime .

It is actually purchased by Rolex. They currently lent the watch to the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures for display .

M JP 😂😂😂

please explain the joke to me , I searched for rick and pawn stars but couldn’t find anything 😭

Search pawn stars محمد زعبي

That show is a fraud, everybody knows.

fun fact: when paul newman gifted that watch to his daughters boyfriend its value was around 200

Pretty probable since they want to make the most money out of art , they plant "bubble" clients

Or she was working for the charity to make sure bid was at least 10 million

@@georgepapadakis2954 Still happens but I'm pretty sure that's illegal.

krishna pal True dat

You got that right, it's so phoney boosting the starting price. I would just walk out.

Lmao

Hahaha

🤣🤣🤣🤣

10 million

Paul Twiss The auctioneer is entertaining for sure. He called “going once, going twice” 2 times. That’s a bit disrespectful to the highest bidder IMO.

A lot of poise there.

He actually made the whole thing seem like quite a bit of fun, though I'm sure the high bidders were chewing their nails

They're salesmen first and foremost

@@dudakoff1000 Performance art might be a better description. A very high level of performance art.

xCandy Gamerx had to double back because I was like “shit if that’s when I thought it was...” It fucken got me too!!!

lmfao me too.

Me too

And at 5:45 plus 5:54

@BuddyPs4King he crazy man he crazy

What was he like to meet him in person?

O-H!

Steve McQueen wasnt to bad either around the race circuit .

@@onesri6108 He was an amazingly normal human being with a glint in his eye which you knew was either flirting or showing his amusement with being coveted and enthralled. I mentioned before that I had the chance to meet him on the track at Watkins Glen and I was in the hairpin turn when he went off the track and crashed into something- I can’t even remember what it was maybe another driver running him off or something but apparently I didn’t handle it well and it was the first AND last time I was on headsets at the Glen. He thought it was funny and he was so cool and since he was sponsored by Budweiser bought drinks and BBQ for everyone for that day and the next. My sister-in-law Amy Ruman used to be on the track with him and my brother, Dave Skinner, her engineer said the same thing about him-just a really normal nice guy…

Fiat 131s ❤❤❤❤

I cant help to think that it was rigged.

@@Kaisersozze yeah no shit.

Its Tiffany not that girl.

and whos Tiffany?

@@wuuduu609 Maybe the owner of famous jeweler "Tiffany and co."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHA

not the worst if u have a bank acc

Hahahaha

u r fucking loser

So your 100k in debt

Coz they knew Rolex was ready to buy it as a marketing expense.

Truth! ...and that would be store credit😉

@@canadiankrispybacon1450 Thanks everyone for these comments. Reading them while listening to the bidding can't be beat.

Earth Society lmfao!!!

gamestop will give nothing cause its not a video game

Sevy Xuoir Pawn Stars would, but it would sit on the shelf, so Rick would offer you $100 not a penny more!

NB ? What’s that mean

Auction is another way to do money laundry especially for high profile products

People have always had that much. The internet has allowed everyone to see it.

@@crownjohn6666 True but its def alright in this case since the money went to a charity

Booxwee the charity is also a way to do money laundering cos you cannot see the sheets and you don’t know how money actually spend.

10 MILLION DOLLARS SIR

Mr.Bean enters chat: Give me my god damn watch back!!!

hahaha "to watch". you made a punny joke

I would like to compliment you on that awsome last name. Damn you are lucky

@@Glenn-F-Rice Dad?

Lol

But sort of boring silent I want cheers and more tension and shouting

Q

Moderate Fkr Going to charity so probably waived it

J

going to charity however the buyer probably got a huge tax deduction

Bacs!

Rob jealous anyone?

Wont last long they live in a banana republic

Rumor is Rolex bought the watch back for their collection.

Let's hope so, and he then runs his car over it. Hooray!!! Who the Hell was Paul Newman other than a pretty face, speaking lines, written by a team of script writers, dressed by an entourage of costume designers, told what to do, what to say, and how to act by a producer, managed by a personal manager, told where to go, who to see and when to see them, and the photographers told when and where this was all going to happen. PLEASE!!!!

erepsekahs - Yeah, but his popcorn was good 😎

The higher the numbers the more noisy it becomes.

tbf a “good" auctioneer keeps the pace (or they call it energy) quick so it’s thrilling, never boring even for non-bidders and stops bidders from thinking twice. This one gets too slow really if not for the auctioneer’s humour. Hypes the ego of the bidders really well.

He’s a shyster

MikeM Many people are idiots

no, schmuck! 90% of us are heterosexual males and would rather look at pretty girls!

all the big ballers do this because of privacy so people's don't know who bought the watch in public.

Still be nice to see them

We all know girls don’t make the money

I don't know much about him being born in the mid 90s, I just know the sauce. What made him great?

Meanwhile their associates are ordering air strikes so they wake up tomorrow in their penthouse suite with $100 billion extra in their Cayman Island shell accounts!

sorry girls and boys that was the most boring auction ever yawn an Auction for me is fast and furious that certainly wasn't !!!!! it's like yer man was really trying to get a great commission though so fair play to you kid yawn yawn yawn

@@Noadvantage246 Correct... Just how i like my life being.... You only "over pay" if you can't afford it in the first place!!!

@@Noadvantage246 spotted the poor disgusting smelly leftist

@@MrCliteatswood Winners look at passionate, successful people who are driven to pursue excellence as an inspiration. Losers look at the same with disdain, envy, hatred and disgust. Why? Because it is easier for them to piss on the happiness of others than it is to cultivate their own happiness.

lanari10 u think Rolex bought it back ?

Totally 100%

Rolex did buy this watch themselves

lanari10 i agree i heard Rolex is buying back all there rare watches they made!

And they'll pass the savings on to their customers!!

😂

😂😂😂

And I would be taking a risk

"Let me get an expert on this"

I’m going to have a lot wrapped up in this you know I have to find the proper seller Iran I need some meat on the bone

Best Rolex move

It was a set up

@@brianjones8417 how does the setup work?

@Vedang Kandoi it was to cut off all the peasants, and said this is the time for the big boys.

@@brianjones8417 No. It isn’t a setup. That’s a crime and Phillips isn’t going to destroy their business over a couple of millions.

Plz.....

I thought the 20M bid would be called in...

Respect The Face poor man u got no bill

LMAO

You guys are getting paid ?

Hahahahahah.....mint

& every penny he made on the sauce went to charity too 👍

American sauce I take it ?

Never Mind someone’s jealous

Id so fart to break the silence

@Nevermind they spend millions like the way you spend hundreds because that's how much that have, it's scale, so you probably saying when you spent hundreds on a gift you had no brain too

mm

Tompog 89 shipping will cost you another 49.99

Nah like $20,000

@@lucky_13_pyro Nah there is actually a 12.5% "buyer's premium" bringing the total price to $17,752,500 before tax. So "shipping" was just a modest 2.2 mil.

Will Reese Hmm I was always under the impression that the fee paid is to the auction house and is taken from the seller, not the buyer.

Are they fucking kidding me, for PN watch?

Thank you for your comment. I hate always seeing the childish comments left by those that are uneducated.

I am high and this comment was amazing.

Dude same! ahah good vibes man

@@gusfalk can't tell if that's a joke about my name or not... 😉 Lol

nope, didnt even notice your name until now, haha

Well done sir well done!

😄

Chuck Norris is a lunatic fascist

Chuck norris needs no watch, just looks at the sky to know the time

Francois Choquette the cars. Always the cars. Paul would appreciate that.

The watch.

Hi , you might have seen me on your chanel comment section , what do you mean by "a game changer" thanks , i'm just curious as to what you think this will change ?

Rikardur Arnason I would say the pricing of the Paul Newman era Daytona’s and all vintage rolex watches due to the press they received from this event

Collecting Vintage Watches indeed

Late to this comment Silas, but very good lol

Good one !

Fax

Lol you did ?

You can't bid without verifying that you have funds to cover.

Drew Earthling the processes aren’t as complex as you would think.

@@tyroneerasmus6759 I don't think. I know.

Drew Earthling oh shit this dude is so cool!

lol he is his own boss. His name is Aurel Bacs of Bacs and Russo you see there.

Is suit is actually decent, you can see the fabric move and stretch along with his movements. It drapes well.

Nothing wrong with his suit

What is wrong with his suit?

Well, maybe not Saville Row, but definitely good enough for Alan David's in NYC.

Syafiq Norkhalim you idiot. It is a Rolex which means no handmade process involved. This watch was made by machines exactly like regular daytonas. If it were a one off patek the price would be justified.

Momin Idrees : I believe you could have been more civillised in bringing up your point, despite how inaccurate it is. Do some research and you will know that there are processes in the case and movement assembly of Rolex watches which are done by hand. Furthermore, this watch was made several decades ago, at a time where a lot more of the Rolex watch assembly was done by hand. Thanks for trying anyway

Syafiq Norkhalim No matter what you say it is still a copy paste daytona and it is from that era where daytonas were considered a unsuccessful product from rolex. Furthermore the real value of this watch is that paul newman wore it. Now who the hell is paul newman. I've never heard of this guy besides the affiliation with rolex. Is this really a value point of this watch. And ad to insult you are comparing this mass produced (someone just change the color scheme of the dial so it can be a unique piece) object to THE MONA LISA. Just ask around your neighbourhood and see how many people know about this watch compared to the MONA LISA.

Momin Idrees : for someone who loves acting smart, you sure do contradict yourself. Like many others who have stated in the comments section, this watch is mainly for watch lovers who can appreciate and value this watch much more than others. Sure, to peasants like you, this watch may be immensely similar to other "copies" which were made during that time. However, in the world of jewellery, fashion and artefacts, the mere provenance of an item is enough to make it outstandingly more valuable. Try researching how Paul Newman was affiliated with Rolex, and you would understand why this particular watch is valuable to Rolex's heritage, and thus Rolex lovers alike. Also, to address you poorly crafted argument based on Mona Lisa's uniqueness compared to this watch; sure, most people in many neighbourhoods would know about the legendary painting. How does popularity have anything to do with justifying value though? Damien Hirst's tiger shark piece for instance sold at £10million even though very few people in "neighbourhoods" know about it. And yes, I study art. Sure, Mona Lisa is well-known, but there's a reason why it's worth 100 MILLION, instead of just a few dozen. The fact is, it doesn't matter of what nature an item is. If it's valued by people, then those people will determine the price. It seems extremely pathetic how you are arguing against the value of an item which bares no significance to you.

Momin Idrees The lack of appreciation that you show for a significant object is honestly that of a 15 year old boy that hates on others for the kicks of it. This watch has a great historical importance. Mind I say that this is a watch that was searched for during the better part of three decades and it was indeed Paul Newman’s own which makes it important because of his role in motor sports.

Certainly boneable!

And also, I think I saw a female briefly flash on the screen at 10:46. I wonder if I'll ever get to talk to one in real life 🙏

@@TwoPyramid lmfao!

She is gorgeous, I couldn't keep my eyes off of her, I bet she taste like butterscotch!

I love motorsports, love it. Fucking love it. But I'm never paying 15,500,000 USD for a watch.

I would of said 25 million

This made me lol
