When in the same auction...
A Heuer Monaco given by Steve McQueen sells for 2.2 million and a Daytona owned by Paul Newman sell for 5.5 million ..... a tad over 200,000 for Sylvester his panerai that was seen in the movie daylight and started the panerai brand....well 200,000 on that case is a big joke.

1,816 Panerai listings are live on the eBay market and 1415 collector listings on the WatchProSite marketplace.

We’ll not know for sure unless we find out who purchased the watch but I would tend to think this is not the case.
He/she, or perhaps they (dealers have been known to split the “bet”), did for sure buy something which transcends the object itself but I would think it’s far more than just “movie memorabilia”. All said, I do defer to you and your knowledge of the brand ...
shocking....
With all the craziness in the watch auctions this year, I'm very surprised Sly's Panerai sold for that amount, especially with the legit "provenance" attached to it. I've seen "rumored" watches with false provenance going for crazy final hammer prices. Wa...
I just read the latest debunk which..
