Sylvester Stallone on Why He's Selling His Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime & More | Sotheby's

Sylvester Stallone, Academy Award-winning director, actor, writer, and producer - and passionate watch collector. It's our pleasure to announce that 11 pieces from Sly's legendary collection are coming to Sotheby's New York this June. The undisputed highlight is his Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime, the world’s most complicated wristwatch.
Widely considered a ‘holy grail’ amongst the watch community, Sly’s Grandmaster Chime is further distinguished as the first example to ever appear at auction. “The one thing that is pervasive throughout all these watches, is that they attract me emotionally. It’s not about keeping time, it’s about keeping in step with where you are in life,” says Stallone.
We're proud to present these watches as a part of the Important Watches sale on 5 June during Luxury Week, presented in partnership with Silversea.
N.B. The Grandmaster Chime is a handmade watch and, as such, has been touched by human hands. But you know what he means. It's never been worn since the day he took it home.

Totally understand his statement about buying watches to mark events in ones life. I dreamed forever to be a police officer. About seven years into the job I was doing well and working on a special crime team task force. I looked around and said, "I've made it." That was in 1992 and to commemorate that moment, I bought a submariner that I still wear today, and love. After 30 years of an awesome career I retired as a lieutenant. I had accomplished everything I wanted to do in law enforcement. I commemorated that with my brother who also retired with 30 years in law enforcement. We both loved Panera's, mainly because of Mr. Stallone bringing them to our attention. We both picked one up to acknowledge our careers.

I’m a watch guy myself and I’ve been lucky enough to own some really nice watches but nothing on the level of Sly’s collection but then again not many of us will ever get close to his collection. If these are what he’s selling can you even imagine what he’s kept? I bet it’s awe inspiring. The Patek Grand Master is definitely the pinnacle, however I recently acquired my W serial Rolex Sea Dweller and it’s a really minty example and I feel blessed to be able to have something so frivolous in nature. My 9 year old wears a little digital watch and like Sly said, we both have the exact same time keeping ability, however every morning when I put my Sea Dweller on it makes me feel special. That’s why I like my Rolex watches, they make me feel special.

You are being sarcastic right? I hope so. He said absolutely nothing that couldnt be said or that wouldnt be said by an "everyday" watch wearer! He gave no insight on how any of the movements work, didnt go into detail about anything really. So i dont think your comment is accurate. Sly is def a cool guy and deserves everything he has. But your comment is horseshit

[@MarkJoseph-vv4pj]

No sarcasm at all. You're right about the notion that he used simple statements to explain the hobby of collecting. The interview did lack the fundamental details of how the machine works. But there is no need to do that. It's a somewhat emotional interview about watch collecting. We don't need to bring the physics and mathematics into play regarding exactly how each complication works. There are plenty of certified master licensed watchmakers that do that. Maybe my comment was slightly over the top. But try to remember what the title of the video is. It essentially deals with the joys, pleasures and appreciation in collecting these complex machines that take years to design and produce. Again, he really is a smart and talented nice person deserving his success. At least we agree on that.

[@porschefanatic1049]

he needs the money

[@complicatedtime]

I doubt he “needs” the money. These watches are a small portion of his collection - but I also agree, you’d think he would send that Cartier back to them for their museum, since they gave it to him. I get it, he’s 70 years old. I’m in my early 50s and have started consolidating my watch collection - mostly because I don’t want them (the watches) to be a burden to my family if something should happen to me. At least I can sell some of them now, and make sure I am getting fair prices - rather than my wife get ripped off by some shark after I’m gone.

[@oaktree1628]

Simple answer: it’s not that important to him

[@citibear57]

Hi Mr. Stallone, I own a Timex watch that does nothing else other than telling the time. Oh, it has Indiglo which allows you to see the time in the dark. I wear it whenever I leave my home. I often dreamed of having a nice watch (something in the $200 range), but if you would like to have my watch, I wouldn't mind passing it on to you to enjoy. You could wear this watch and when people see it on your wrist they would think "Oh, that's not Sly, the guy wearing that Timex is broke". 😂

[@JibyJab]

Does selling the 6300 get you ban from ADs?

[@MrPician]

I think so! If I would be one of the Sterns I would ban him to by any Patek after this.

[@emiljimenez803]

I believe after a set amount of years thats void and you can do as you see fit; similar too luxury cars with the same buyer agreement(s)

[@powerrangers16712]

@@emiljimenez803 i think after 5 years you wont get ban. after that, you still can buy PP model, but no the same model that you sold. that 5 years gestation/blackout period is to prevent flippers.

[@cameronmartin719]

I think it largely depends on how you approach the sale. I could be wrong, but I wouldn't be surprised if Sylvester Stallone approached Patek to let them know he would be selling the watch and sort of asked for permission/forgiveness. Maybe he's fallen out of love with the piece, maybe he needs the money. There's lots of reasonable explanations for selling this watch but the process should be handled delicately and with respect. The above is a far cry from flipping the watch within months of buying it and not informing Patek that you're looking to let go of it for xyz reason. Person A is probably deprioritised as a client, no longer given access to the most sought after Patek's, but not banned and might have the chance to gain access to the more sought after pieces in the coming years. Person B is banned for life with no opportunity for redemption.

[@jimmydishkawnt]

He is getting old and probably wanted the watch to go to another collector that would cherish it like he did.

"Sylvester Stallone's Patek Phillippe Grandmaster Chime sold for $5.4 million at Sotheby's last week, a healthy couple million bucks above its retail price." I'm sure the company won't be too impressed with him selling it after the apparent favours they did to get him to acquire this timepiece

Many people think this man is not very clever / intelligent, I beg the differ. Mr. Stallone is classy, very articulated and intelligent. Loved the anecdote's.

Blue dial, Rose gold AP: 😍 But also, that final Patek - “admiring” it thru crappy plastic seems nonsensical (in terms of truly enjoying). But I get what it means for the value of the watch.

[@vincentaurelius2390]

Judging by his comment that fine watches are about “keeping step with where you are in life” he admires it on a deeper level, almost metaphorically. So in that case the plastic is irrelevant.

[@KATONKA...]

Friend of mine has a couple of adult magazines of stallones from years ago and is always wondering if they're worth anything

[@SuperSedans]

I am happy for him. He made so many great 70/80 and 90 action movies, many of us watched them as a kids. We grew beside him basically... I am glad that he have a lot of money and live happily. Mr Stallone another 100 years for you.

[@soleman8551]

$3mil watch in a 50c plastic protector

[@WilliamInternational]

So he wrote letters to the board at Patek and they finally let him buy this and he never took it out of the wrapper? So he never wanted to wear it in the first place and the AD should have opened the watch seal, they are not allowed to give it to customers unopened. Many people who really appreciate watches are unable to buy this from Patek, and this jerk weasels one for himself just for the money. Pathetic.

[@onlythebest3311]

I love it, selling that Patek grand with your name engraved on the box to ,,!,, Patek and their exclusivity, background checks, and all that bs time waster just to buy a watch. Patek must be fuming 😂 I hope some low class thug with 10lbs gold chain around the neck buys it and wears it lol

When he said "You've cost me a fortune" when recalling an old story at 4:50 I was thinking actually he's going to make a ton more money cause all those watches are even more expensive today and because of the stories now attached to them. Amazing collection especially that first Patek.

[@TheRealGurney]

That will be a genuine regret in his life to have toiled and begged and pleaded to eventually be granted the privilege of owning the rarest most coveted watch of all time to then only see it, touch it and experience it through a 5p plastic bag. No point in owning it at all. If this is enjoying something then I’m doing it wrong. I would’ve loved to hear about him wearing this on the beach and on set and banging it around - now that is enjoying something, he can absolutely afford it. Come on Sly, you’re better than this bud.
