THE Paul Newman Daytona is due to be auctioned in New York tonight. Anyone hazard a guess at what it will go for? The auctioneers have put a huge amount of time and money into hawking it around the world, and the appeal goes beyond watch people into film and celebrity memorabilia territory. I wouldn't be surprised to see $10 Million, but we'll see. I probably won't be bidding. Prefer the non Paul Newman dial.
$13.5M
Has anyone got a link to where I can watch the auction live? I couldn't see anything on the Philips website
Ime guessing £12m.
$13.5m
I would rather have that mint condition Mark 1 DRSD at lot 42 - that is as much a one off as the star of the show is.
Me too.downloaded the app but just showing the catalogue....

Just checked again and there is a "live now" icon appeared - clicking on it nothing happens but the auction doesn't begin until 11pm.

Why not put in the first bid?

The interesting thing is Paul Newman's car that he came second (I think) at Le Mans in 'only' fetched $4.5 Million.
I think it will be less than 10m. I’ll go $8.5m
> 15M$... there are thousands of billionaires
I’ll start the bidding at 10k

Has it got box and papers? Seriously has it?
No, but a letter from his family is surely better provenance than a crappy guarantee certificate from back in the day.

I dont believe it has, but it does have some rather good provenance.

Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.

6pm New York time - should be kicking off soon and our very own Mike Wood is in the auction room.

I loved the jump from $1m to $10m.
Unfortunately this is the last we'll see of this watch for many many years, but the same can be said for basically any watch of this ilk.
No sound! What did it finish at?
Sold $15.5m blimey.
Amazing. I couldn't look away!!!

Probably close to $20 Million with all fees.
Love to know who bought it.
When you look up the word 'smooth' in the dictionary, there'll just be a picture of this auctioneer.
