- At Phillips auction house in New York on Thursday night, the legendary Paul Newman 1968 Rolex Cosmograph Daytona was auctioned off; auctioneer Aurel Bacs called it “possibly the most iconic wristwatch of the 20th century.” Here’s the bidding process for this piece from start to finish …

When he said 12 Million in 4 different languages that was pretty badass.
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?
The ten million bid was a super power move to remove the peasants with paddles who were hoping to pay 2 to 6 million.
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.
That 10 million opening bid just stops my heart beat for a second
Paul Newman was an amazing guy I’ve met him at Mid Ohio. He also was the best of the “celebrity” race car drivers and was a world class talent.
Love this video!!!
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…
Rick from Pawn Stars offered $50 bucks but only after he first got his buddy down there to inspect it and tell him what it was worth
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 ?
I never realised auctioneers could be that much fun. This guy was fantastic.
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.
Videos like this makes me feel like crying when I look at my account balance 😢
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 👍
The long pauses and waiting is probably the billionaires waiting for the next million to roll into the back account every 2 minutes lol
They already know what to bid. The delays are consortiums that need approval to go higher.
was: $14'500.000 now: $250 after Rick called his friend.
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
Legends say that, Tiffiney never had a Client she was there just to spice up the bid.
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.
I'm humbled to announce Paul Newman's own salsa. The auction price will begin at $3.79.
Bloody hell I've got a bottle of his Paul Newman sauce with limited edition spices, anyone want that for a few million? I'll even chuck in a free watch👍
Lmao
Hahaha
🤣🤣🤣🤣
10 million
What's wrong with this cameraman, I wanna see Tifanny!
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?!?!
At 4:18 he was standing so still I thought my screen froze
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
How could Rolex NOT buy this back- it’s the no.1, the icon, and if it went onto some oligarchs wrist or into an Arabs watch drawer, it’s value is nothing. It’s become a piece of art that connects you to a beautiful man who will forever be loved and admired for his loyalty, bravery, kindness and honesty.
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 .
crazy how quiet and civilised this auction is.
Coz they knew Rolex was ready to buy it as a marketing expense.
Absolutely nobody:
That girl: 10 million dollars sir!
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."
... And the watch goes to an Arab for his sons high school graduation gift.
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 😎
In 1978, I was on the Road America racetrack in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, racing a car my Navy buddy and I built and prepared for the SCCA event (my buddy and I were stationed at Great Lakes and we both had an abundance of cash from our re-enlistment bonuses and built a race car) Several different car classes would be on the track at the same time, only competing with our own class. It was quite a memory being on the track at the same time with Paul Newman. We had to constantly be in our mirrors to ensure we gave his class of racers the right of way, or as we were told pre-start, don’t get in his way. Seeing him blaze past me, with flames belching from the Newman-Sharp Nissan 280ZX tailpipes on deceleration, is something I can replay in my head, in slow motion, over and over.
RIP Paul.

So much more calm than the art auctions at Christie's and Sotheby's
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.
The way Aurel runs this lot and creates the tension, which drives the price is why he got the gig. World class expertise.
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
the auction didn't even started and the woman shouted 10 million... Jesuschrist some people have too much money
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.
Waitress: “Good morning, sir. And how would you like your eggs?”
Auctioneer: “Faberge.”
Outstanding auctioneer, a masterclass.
I would have bid on this, but I just checked my bank account and realized I was $15.6M short
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHA
not the worst if u have a bank acc
Hahahaha
u r fucking loser
So your 100k in debt
Gamestop would give 6 bucks for it
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!
This should be with Rolex in a museum. Remembering Paul Newman ❤.
Still one of my favorite auctions to watch. Rolex and Daytona with Paul Newman it's the trifecta of awesomeness
hahaha "to watch". you made a punny joke
This auctioneer is so seasoned and works up the crowd so professionally 👍🏽
He’s a shyster
Someone made a lot of commission there!

Moderate Fkr
Going to charity so probably waived it

going to charity however the buyer probably got a huge tax deduction
Bacs!
Camera person specially picked to miss all important bids and focus where nothing is happening, excellent job!
“I have a commission bid of $1 mill..”
“$10 MILLION!!!!!”
Boss move!!
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.
What I love about these auctions is the crispness, the professional elegance. The seamless switching of languages to convey information, the beautiful women assisting, not a hair out of place. The bidders' passion. The excitement. The friendly rivalry and playfulness. The courteous and respectful demeanor. Class, style.
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.
Does 90% of the comments here really think Nat and Tiff are the bidders? Did you guys even watch the video, they were on the phone with clients
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
Great Action Auction! Love Aurel's humor and professionalism!
Paul Newman...a sound human being. I would pay more for a new Newman movie if I could. God bless Paul and his family.
I don't know much about him being born in the mid 90s, I just know the sauce. What made him great?
When Tiffany said, $10,000,000 out of the gate I knew we had separated the men from the boys. Btw I love Aurel Bacs, nice to see an iconic Horologist auction off a piece of iconic horological significance...I wonder if Aurel ever met Seth Atwood???
$20 is the maximum we can do. You know we have to make some money out of it.Maybe wait for auction .
Seller: can you do $25.
Pawn Stars: $22 is the maximum I can think of.
😂
😂😂😂
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
For the Lot 9: The Iconic G-Shock of Mr. Bean. We start of $1M Dollars🤪🤪🤪
10 MILLION DOLLARS SIR
Mr.Bean enters chat: Give me my god damn watch back!!!
The blond lady to the auctioneers right is stunning and so calm. With a smile to die for. ❤
Plz.....
All to the Newman Foundation. that guy left 250mil to the foundation. Bless him, wherever he his.
Strategic move by Rolex to buy their own watch.
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!!
Paul Newman & Steve McQueen.... absolute legends
That auctioneer has a tonne of class.
Free delivery with that?
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?
Anyone else waiting for some guy to burst through the door, wearing a hoodie and shorts and just spit : *" I'll give you 20 Million dollars "*
I thought the 20M bid would be called in...
$15.5 million
Shipping $2.99
"Nah thanks, I'll pass"
Mr, Aurel Bacs is a masterful auctioneer, so smoothly dramatic and suspenseful.
I don't know what the 2 lovely young women were doing at the auction desk, but they certainly added a bountiful dash of beauty to the proceedings.
That watch's every second must cost a thousand bucks
very experienced auctioneer, controlled perfect rhythm, emotional exchanges to encourage clients bid more.
Not for nothing but Armstrong's Omega Speedmaster is probably "the most iconic wristwatch of the 20th century". But IT never left the Lunar Module. Aldrin's Speedmaster was actually the "first wristwatch" worn ON the Moon". However, ITS whereabouts are officially "unknown" last I knew.
He is absolutely amazing with his skill. The company could’ve afforded a better suit for him.
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.
I bid 11,000,000 $ and then ran out as fast as I could
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!
Shipping fee -$5.99
Order cancelled.
Good one !

If this was Chuck Norris' watch the starting bid is estimated to be around 100 million...but then again Chuck Norris doesn't wear a watch as he decides what time it is.
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
I was at this auction and it was an amazing day
Someone is getting paid and it aint me
Respect The Face poor man u got no bill
LMAO
You guys are getting paid ?
You could hear a pin drop in that room.
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
This is fantastic! My hands were sweating through the whole deal!
WOW! Great auctioneer. P N would be laughing whilst eating his boiled eggs. 😂 He was a brilliant actor. Hud. Hombre. Cool hand Luke and many more 👍🇬🇧👋🎬🎥
Watching this while cooking pasta, and realized Paul’s on the damn sauce bottle I’ve been using forever and never realized
Hahahahahah.....mint
& every penny he made on the sauce went to charity too 👍
American sauce I take it ?
.............give the man an Oscar!!
Great to see that this video was uploaded just within 2 days of auction....
I don't understand the staggering amount of money that these people spend. But i DEFINIETLY understand their passion for what they cherish.
Seeing Mr. Aurel Bacs speechless is absolutely priceless! Great!
Natalie and Tiffany have been enemies since childhood .
What an incredibly elegant gentleman..
This video called me poor in 4 different languages😭😭😭😂
A game changer for the vintage watch world.
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
I would have said "ONE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS" like Dr. Evil.
I would of said 25 million
This made me lol
@@christopherhayes2434 *have
I wander if Aurel kept and framed his tie to commemorate such an amazing auction.
I am almost willing to bet that Rolex bought that watch back. There’s only one and they have it.
The added bonus that from that day on all Rolexes have just gained in value.
Wow - it was like a piece of theatre.
Adam Carolla has all the Paul Newman cars in the video. He races them too.
What would you prefer to have?
The cars or the watch.
The cars were cheaper too!
Francois Choquette the cars. Always the cars. Paul would appreciate that.
The watch.
As one of the other 6 billion poor people, this was so much more exciting than I had expected 👏🏼👏🏼 Watching rich people play 😂
Late to this comment Silas, but very good lol
Forget the watch, who's that blonde girl?? 😍
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!
Great video at the start....gets the blood pumping just watching it.
Rick: I give you 25 bucks because I have to replace the battery and it might sit a while in my shop.
Michael S. The Daytona has no battery.
Chris exactly
if it doesn't sell Chum's head will roll if the Old Man finds out
Gonna take up a lot of real estate in the store
God bless you Mr. Newman. I hope that went to help out with T.H.I.T.W.G.C. association. They are amazing.
This was very entertaining!
This guys going on like a gameshow host I love it
I wish people would applaud me like that when I spent too much money
😄
For those of you that don't understand - this watch is an investment, and is a very important piece in the history of timepieces. It represents Swiss watchmaking combined with racing history. This watch IS Rolex, like Neil Armstrong's speedmaster is Omega. You can't really comment on it if you don't understand this, let alone think it's "useless". Ignoring all the heratige and historical importance, it's actually really smart to buy this because guaranteed in another 20-30 years the buyer could sell this watch for twice the amount he bought it for here. The investment is more secure than buying gold, silver, bitcoin, any of that, and is more secure than investing in a company. It's like the Mona Lisa of watches - the best representation of a great artist.
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
It's a legacy watch from a legend, but the best of Paul Newman was his charitable heart. The fact this went to charity much like his Paul Newman brands still do is amazing.
“Okayyyy, lot number 9 is this lovely Casio as worn by Dave from work. Can I get $5?”
Fascinating. He is a master.
This is a Great video for salesman to explain that people dont buy things because of logic.
I love motorsports, love it. Fucking love it. But I'm never paying 15,500,000 USD for a watch.
This is so awesome on so many levels. The watch is amazing, the auctioneer sublime and witty, and Paul Newman is the second most badass actor in the history of film, after Steve McQueen.
Absolutely incredible.

Don't worry, you stimulus check is on the way. You can buys some pub chips.
That 10 million dlr bid in the beginning was a boss move big time.
Very similar to my shopping experience when I buy new underpants at Debenhams.
From a watch lover, this vintage watch is a classic, one-off timepiece which will appreciate in value in the years to come. With such heritage and craftsmanship, 15mill is actually pretty reasonable considering the fact that paintings like the Mona Lisa go for above 100mill.
You guys saying "it's just a watch" should really be more open-minded. A painting is just oil on canvas, a diamond is just a rock, and a house is just a concrete container. Grow up
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.
There's wealth then there's rattle off $12M in 4 different languages wealth.
I'm a fan of this unrushed approach too the auctionary show❗
Great auctioneer performance.
I love your smile tiffany. That guy got a good commission
I sneezed in the background and he put me on 16M
2:05 I can just watch this over and over lol
Incredible. So many super-rich who can afford to splurge on mere trinkets to add to their exceptional collections.
