Sir Jackie Stewart’s old 116520, long story but an old friend of his in Australia saw him wearing it in ‘04 or so and said “hey I want one of those can you get me on the list?”. Jackie took it off his own wrist, handed it to him and said take it it’s yours, then send the box and papers later.
What’s interesting is the papers are not stamped by a dealer but rather by RSC Melbourne as they imported it for Jackie to wear at the event. That’s what Rolex do when the issue watches to brand ambassadors.
