The next world record could be sitting in your drawer. This past May, #SothebysGeneva made history when auctioneer Clara Kessi brought the hammer down on a gold Ref. 6239 Paul Newman Rolex Daytona for a final price of 1,143,000 CHF.

Only around 10 of these coveted timepieces are known to exist. Even more remarkable, this example had been sitting untouched in a drawer for over 45 years. 

Listen as Sotheby’s Mikael Wallhagen shares the extraordinary story of how two sisters led him to one of the most sought-after watches ever brought to auction.
