Just sold last night,
Less than I was expecting, remembering that one recently sold here for more, and one in Phillips last year for double.

What was the price if you don't mind my laziness? I'm guessing less than the 50k one listed here

Truely a grail watch. Nina and Clapton don't even come close!

I was offered one by an expensive dealer in Brisbane in 2012/2013 for $6k and told him thanks but I'm not that desperate. Never thought they'd even come close to this given they're 861.

Were the racing dials still being produced into the DNN era? I've not seen one before, and think this one might have been serviced or put together. Probably why it didn't achieve as high a price

Is that because of the rare/coolness factor...or the looks...or both?

Is it known how many pieces of this watch were created?

I think its the crest of a wave, like when Paul Newman dials started attracting attention.

These are spectacularly rare watches, and not for everyone, in fact not for a lot of people. But what I can see is that these will be $100,000. Not now, not next year, but they will rise to a bigger multiple of the standard watch, in the same way the multiples have grown between the PN's and the standard Daytonas.

In fact when "The Money" that buys Daytonas and PNs wakes up and smells the coffee its going to be off to the races for all the rare dials. It is a matter of when, not if.

The "when" might be a while, maybe not,

I wonder if he still has it 😉

The scary thing is today that would be a good deal even for the 2004 remake
