Mr. Stallone's collection at Sotheby's

It’s no secret that Sly Stallone is selling his Patek Grand Master Chime (and more) at Sotheby’s in New York this week but did you know that the ultra-rare timepiece is Patek’s most complicated watch ever?

That’s funny, I would have assumed he didn’t own any watches I would actually wear. Well, I wouldn’t wear that because it’s probably worth more than my house and car. And my wife’s car. And my neighbor’s house.

Anyway, I assumed he was just a giant silly watch kinda guy.

I think a lot of folks including watch enthusiasts might forget or never knew how bright, complex an individual Sly Stallone is. I mean he took a brilliant single idea( Rocky) and lived a great life full of success and drama. When my wife’s old maid middle sister was planning to marry a nice guy a long time ago, I attended one of the saddest stags ever for her future husband. We paid for our beers, or Perrier waters dined on bad lasagna and salad from cheap paper plates. Ancient porn videos played on an overhead television in the run down bar located in Toronto’s west end before the area was gentrified. One forgettable video featured a young Sly doing what actors in cheap pornos do. It was my cue to take transit home to my wife and young daughters, a few guys who wanted to keep drinking requested the video be turned off. They felt it was disrespectful for the career achievements of one their favourite actors.
