How much value does the “Celebrity X Factor” add to the hammer price of replica watches at auctions?

Editors note: While you might think these uncertain times would lead to a decline in luxury spending, auction houses are still raking in a great deal of money – with collectors assuaging their boredom under lockdown with incredible timepieces that come up for auction. The market for hot vintage luxury Swiss replica watches is still going strong, with even modern in-demand models commanding unexpected premiums. As my colleague Brendan would put it – high-value vintage watches have proven themselves”pandemic-proof“. This reminded me of an article we published some time ago, which explored the hammer prices of celebrity-owned high-end fake watches, and whether or not the “X factor” they carried translated into greater bids. Since this list was last published, we have seen some historic watches sold at auction. Let’s check in on just how much their celebrity status impacted their sales.

After her husband heard about the success of Paul Newman’s Rolex Daytona at auction, Brando’s daughter Petra Fischer-Brando realized there was a great opportunity to raise money for their charity.

Another instance of a philanthropic effort, Jack Nicklaus offered his best quality copy Rolex Day-Date ref. 1803 – with the proceeds to be donated to the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation, a charitable organization that aids the Nicklaus Children’s Hospital in Miami. A golfing legend, one thing that really added to the provenance of the watch was that Nicklaus actually wore the cheap fake watches online while and after golfing throughout his career. For fans of the sport, this was the ultimate form of memorabilia you could find.
