It was Paul Newman’s own Ref.6239 PN and made the bid of $17,752,500 (¥2 million) Well, while this value is cause for a celebration of sorts, it doesn’t mean that this is the same for Rolex as a whole.

But in a certain way perhaps this will cause the price of PN will go up in the future or cause the Ref.6239 red mark PN to grow in popularity again. From now this area will become a lot clearer.

A Ref.6200 in good condition was also exhibited at the same time fetching the winning price of $579,000 here as well. Likewise, I wonder if the golden rule is for it to be “in great condition even if expensive”.
