Sotheby’s to Auction Sylvester Stallone’s Watches

New York—Sotheby’s is bringing nearly a dozen watches from the personal collection of the legendary Sylvester Stallone to auction as part of its upcoming “Important Watches” sale.

Best known for his roles in the “Rocky” franchise, the Academy Award-winning director, actor, writer, and producer also has “discerning” taste in watches, said Sotheby’s.

The sale, set for June 5 in New York, will feature 11 of Stallone’s watches, including timepieces from Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, Panerai, and Piaget.

The collection “represents a fusion of sophistication, craftsmanship, and individuality, mirroring the star’s own persona,” said the auction house.

“I’ve had the privilege of owning some truly remarkable watches over the years, each with its own unique character and history,” said Stallone.

“I enjoy the collecting process like so many others in this passionate community, who don’t just see watches as an accessory, but admire them for their history, craftsmanship, artistry – but most importantly – how they make them feel. Looking at these watches, I feel truly lucky to have owned them; they serve as a reminder that hard work pays off. While parting ways with this collection is bittersweet, I cherish that I’ve owned them with pride, and hope they will be appreciated and admired in their next homes.”
