In 2019, during the Only Watch charitable auction, a unique steel model Grandmaster Chime fetched an astonishing £26.5 million, establishing a world record. Whilst Stallone’s Grandmaster Chime is estimated to be valued between £2-£4million, it's anticipated to surpass that figure significantly.
Regarding his decision to sell his Grandmaster Chime, Stallone explains to Sotheby's, “I wasn’t planning on hoarding and holding onto it forever; I prefer to enjoy things and then pass them on".

Remarkably the Grandmaster Chime owned by Stallone has never been worn and remains in its original packaging, complete with papers and a lavish presentation box engraved with his full name.
As part of the upcoming auction, Sylvester Stallone is set to offer two additional 5711 Patek Philippe Nautilus watches from his collection. These include an olive dialled variant adorned with factory set diamonds and a second blue steel model.
Complementing these offerings are four Panerai watches, among which stands out the Panerai Reference PAM00382 Luminor Submersible, famously featured in the 2011 movie The Expendables 2.
Furthermore, to complete this remarkable line up, Stallone is auctioning four of his solid gold timepieces. This includes the rare Audemars Piguet Tourbillon 50th Anniversary, Rolex Day Date Reference, Piaget Polo Grande, and Cartier Pasha Seatimer Reference.
This diverse selection showcases a range of iconic luxury watch brands and models, each with its unique appeal and provenance.
