One of the biggest reasons why a watch can fetch a huge price at auction is if it was owned and worn by an iconic and influential individual. Jack Nicklaus, an extremely well known and successful golfer, will be selling his Rolex Day-Date 1803 at Phillips. This watch was featured on his episode of “Talking Watches” with Hodinkee where he explained where he got the watch, how long he has had it and the adventures it has been on. The adventures are exactly what we are about here at Life on the Wrist. The fact that they watch is being sold is significant to watch lovers and golf lovers alike and there is no doubt there will be heavy betting on this lot come the end of the year.

Enjoy!
