F1 shaken by the sum spent on Schumacher: thrilling numbers

Formula One was shaken by the sum spent on Schumacher: shocking numbers for an object from the German champion. Here’s what happened

“The auction house ‘Christie’s’ has put several up for auction this week clocks – eight in total – of absolute value that were owned by Michael Schumacher. According to what was reported by Bild the auction initially scheduled for Monday was postponed to the following day due to a hacker attack, but the following day everything was able to take place as normal”. This can be read clearly on the site formuplassion.

A fight above all for two valuable objects that were the property of the German champion who, as we know, has never been seen in public for several years now, since that famous skiing accident. Zero news, if not fragmentary, on the health conditions of one of the most beloved Ferrari drivers ever. But, in any case, the theme here is another. And let’s see how much the auction participants spent on the watches.

Formula One, Schumacher watches up for auction

The first watch was a ‘Paul Newman Daytona REF. 6262’, a Rolex, with a peculiarity: it was only produced for a short period between 1970 and 1972. The new owner spent a whopping 322,560 euros to get it. The other, also a Rolex, was a Daytona in version REF. 6241. 6241. An 18k gold model that ultimately sold for 280 thousand euros.

The other six watches, of course, were all valuable. Absolute. And at the end of the auction only one buyer managed to take possession of the entire collection. How much money are we talking about? An incredible figure, obviously increased by the fact that they were owned by the German champion. We are talking about a total of 1.7 million euros that were paid to take all the jewels. A large investment that could perhaps even lead to earnings in future years. We will see.
