[quote]Important Watches And Wristwatches Featuring Property From The Collection Of Eric Clapton. June 5, 2003 . A superb collection of 23 vintage Rolex wristwatches and two Patek Philippe wristwatches demonstrates the master bluesman's passion and precision as a watch collector. The vintage Rolex highlights from his collection included two examples of a very rare self-winding water-resistance triple calendar wristwatch with phases of the moon - one in stainless steel, circa 1953, the other in yellow gold with a two-tone star dial, circa 1954 . The Clapton selection also included two highly collectible Patek Philippe wristwatches - an 18k pink gold water-resistant chronograph wristwatch, circa 1950, and an 18k yellow gold perpetual calendar wristwatch with phases of the moon, circa 1949. Very few examples of reference 1463 were produced in 18k pink gold, and a total of only 210 examples of reference 1526 were ever produced.[/quote]
