At the same auction,
Antiquorum also offered a Rolex Oyster, made circa 1945, owned by silent
film star Charlie Chaplin. The watch was notable not only for having
belonged to Chaplin, but also for it’s rarity as one of the few
left-handed models produced by Rolex during this period. The watch was
accompanied by four vintage photos and various authenticating
correspondence. The Rolex sold for $51,250, over four times its high
estimate of $12,000.
