While it's the Geneva auctions that are quickly creeping up on us, today, we've got some huge news related to the December Phillips auction taking place in New York City. The Phillips team has secured two extremely interesting provenance-driven lots: a Rolex ref. 6263 Daytona "Big Red" owned and worn by Paul Newman and a Heuer Monaco worn by Steve McQueen in Le Mans. Like I said, extremely interesting.
News of these two lots broke just moments ago, but we had the exclusive opportunity to photograph the watches at the Phillips offices ahead of the announcement and also got to speak with their team of specialists to get you all the juicy details.
