Space Flown Omega Speedmaster sold at auction 25/06

[Seiko7A38]

Did anybody else watch this Drouot online auction, yesterday ?



Space flown items from the collection of French astronaut Jean-Loup Chrétien included an Omega Speedmaster (145022.76) which he wore on the Soyuz TM-7 mission to Mir in December 1988. It's probably the one on his wrist while he was juggling others in this photo:



It was Lot # 24 in the auction and sold for €47,500 Euros + 28.8% Commission - the most expensive lot.
