These Vintage Rolex Watches May Be The Most Expensive Ever Sold

Two vintage Rolex watches that ordinarily would be valued around US$15,000 to US$20,000 are hitting the auction block in December Because the two watches were worn by golf champion Jack Nicklaus and actor Marlon Brando, respectively, watch experts predict the timepieces will garner 10 to 100 times their typical value due to the star power behind them Both watches will be available in a December sale called "Game Changers" by Phillips auction house.

"It's a sale dedicated to people who have changed the game in their fields, but also two watches that have changed the game in watchmaking," Paul Boutrous head of watches for Phillips auction house told CNBC in a statement According to Boutrois, the rubber-strapped Rolex was Brando's most treasured watch in his collection CNBC also reported that the timepiece is slated to pull in millions at the auction, potentially even beating out Paul Newman's Rolex Daytona as the most expensive Rolex of all time.

Phillips "Game Changers" auction will be held in New York City on December 10, and most of the proceeds from both watches will be donated to helping kids in need. . Source
