Sylvester Stallone's Rolex has exceeded experts’ expectations. As reported in these pages, the Academy Award-winning director and actor is letting go of his collection, including a 2016 olive-green-dial Rolex Day-Date in rose gold with "SLY" engraved on the caseback.
Auction house Sotheby's estimated Stallone’s timepiece to go from $25,000 to $50,000. But it sold for almost double that — $96,000 plus auction fees, the latest sign watch provenance still wields power at auctions.
“This watch provided hours and hours of joy,” Stallone said in a video by Sotheby's.
