Who is Phillips in Association with Bacs & Russo?
It is the watch department at Phillips auction house, dedicated exclusively to the world’s finest collectors’ watches. Launched in November 2014 by Aurel Bacs and his partner, Livia Russo, the department was established in response to the ever-increasing need for today’s collectors to easily access scholarship, guidance and quality across the board.
In part one, as already mentioned above, we talked about Paul Newman’s legendary Rolex “Paul Newman” Daytona, which sold for $17,752,500 / CHF 17,709,894 / €15,228,095, a world record for a wristwatch at auction.
The timepiece sold to an anonymous bidder (there are rumors that either Rolex or Mr. Ralph Lauren bought the chronograph)Â on the phone after 12 minutes of spirited bidding.
One of the world’s most legendary and sought after of all mechanical wristwatches, this timepiece is the only “exotic”-dialed Daytona that Mr. Newman owned, inspiring the legendary nickname for the most prestigious versions of Rolex’s Daytona.
This is Aurel Bacs, the man who auctioned the Rolex Daytona …
