Totally understand his statement about buying watches to mark events in ones life. I dreamed forever to be a police officer. About seven years into the job I was doing well and working on a special crime team task force. I looked around and said, "I've made it." That was in 1992 and to commemorate that moment, I bought a submariner that I still wear today, and love. After 30 years of an awesome career I retired as a lieutenant. I had accomplished everything I wanted to do in law enforcement. I commemorated that with my brother who also retired with 30 years in law enforcement. We both loved Panera's, mainly because of Mr. Stallone bringing them to our attention. We both picked one up to acknowledge our careers.
9:33 Enjoyed to see a famous actor, collecting watches!! Surprising to hear he is 77 years old; same as my age!!! I have a fine collection of Invicta watches ;)
In the first post-montage scene of Rocky 3, Rocky comes to bail Paulie out of jail. Paulie's angry that Rocky gave him a Rolex watch (which he called a "stinkin' exlax watch") instead of a meaningful job. He throws the watch on the ground and kicks it away. Paulie not a fan of Exlax watches lol
Haven't worn a wristwatch for 25 years and couldn't care less about expensive watches, but it's always interesting to hear someone talking about something they are really passionate about.
Honestly, I got the impression that he wants money for something, and is trying to come up with a sales pitch, for this junk. If you don't need a $400,000 watch, then you sure as hell don't need A DOZEN $400,000 watches.
I’ll never understand buying a watch with the mindset of eventually selling it. Especially that patek. That was a treasure made for you. I would never get rid of it and I would hope it would stay in my family forever

Every watch collector not only buys but sells many watches in their collection. It's common because just like he said, your tastes changes and in order to buy more watches, you have to sell your older ones.

I think it's cool that he enjoyed all these beautiful watches, He took really great care of them, Now each one will be purchased and enjoyed even more, Not only because they are rare valuable watches, They are also celebrity owned. Nice collection.
I love a man that wears a nice watch. Not expensive like these, but a nice looking watch. I started my husband’s collection, then as my boys hit milestones in life I started theirs. It just pulls the look together.
I am a mans man and I agree with your statement. I own several gold watches like Blancpain, Omega, Breitling, Bueche Girod, Movado, etc and they all have the classic dress look. Very thin, all mechanical, classic look. I am an engineer and work with my hands every day. My work watch is a Blancpain. Many question me why I would wear such an expensive watch at work. My answer is, why have it if you cannot enjoy it?
"Sylvester Stallone's Patek Phillippe Grandmaster Chime sold for $5.4 million at Sotheby's last week, a healthy couple million bucks above its retail price." I'm sure the company won't be too impressed with him selling it after the apparent favours they did to get him to acquire this timepiece
It's nice to see someone celebrate their own success publicly and not shy away from it. More people should be happy for the wealthy and strive to improve themselves.
Absolute legend, dream watch collection. What I particularly appreciate (being a watch collector and a watch enthusiast myself) is the fact that he is ready and able to let go of things. I love the mindset of giving the opportunity to somebody else to own such beautiful pieces! I would buy the grand chime tomorrow if I had the cash for it!
He’s most famous for playing characters in the movies who are especially inarticulate, so a lot of people might not know what a thoughtful and intelligent man he is. For a treat, watch one of his movies that has one of his behind the scenes commentary tracks. He’s very funny and has a genius for movie making.
Mr. Stallone is incredibly erudite in this interview. He explains horology so beautifully. He understands the details of watch collecting without losing sight of the big picture. This is a man who deserves all of his success. Great interview!
You are being sarcastic right? I hope so. He said absolutely nothing that couldnt be said or that wouldnt be said by an "everyday" watch wearer! He gave no insight on how any of the movements work, didnt go into detail about anything really. So i dont think your comment is accurate. Sly is def a cool guy and deserves everything he has. But your comment is horseshit
No sarcasm at all. You're right about the notion that he used simple statements to explain the hobby of collecting. The interview did lack the fundamental details of how the machine works. But there is no need to do that. It's a somewhat emotional interview about watch collecting. We don't need to bring the physics and mathematics into play regarding exactly how each complication works. There are plenty of certified master licensed watchmakers that do that. Maybe my comment was slightly over the top. But try to remember what the title of the video is. It essentially deals with the joys, pleasures and appreciation in collecting these complex machines that take years to design and produce. Again, he really is a smart and talented nice person deserving his success. At least we agree on that.
An absolute legend and truly inspiring gentleman. That Day-date is indeed PURE CLASS. In bocca al Lupo for the auction, grazie signore Stallone!!! 🙏🙏🙏 Best regards, TGV
@theurbangentry Long time fan of your channel. I got my RG DayDate a while back and made a video on my channel. It’s my favourite and even surpasses a few of my Patek’s in that regard.
I am really glad to see this bit of documentary recorded and made public. The world of high craft watches is a commentary on Human achievement. Plenty of science fiction novels allude to this level of craftsmanship; and here we have examples of our time.
I’m a watch guy myself and I’ve been lucky enough to own some really nice watches but nothing on the level of Sly’s collection but then again not many of us will ever get close to his collection. If these are what he’s selling can you even imagine what he’s kept? I bet it’s awe inspiring. The Patek Grand Master is definitely the pinnacle, however I recently acquired my W serial Rolex Sea Dweller and it’s a really minty example and I feel blessed to be able to have something so frivolous in nature. My 9 year old wears a little digital watch and like Sly said, we both have the exact same time keeping ability, however every morning when I put my Sea Dweller on it makes me feel special. That’s why I like my Rolex watches, they make me feel special.
@@billmoyer3254 Nobody cares is not the same as you don't care. Sly selling his watches was a big deal in the watch community. Not gadgets as much as art.
Sly will always be an Icon from my childhood. So many great movies, so many great memories. I grew up with this badass, Rocky, Rambo, Dread, Cobra and so many others. I hope he know how much he shaped us boys, and how much we loved him back in the day. Its unfortunate that commoners like myself could never get one of Sly's watches. They will go to rich collectors who will pass them off in years to come for bigger profits. It would be a beautiful thing to have some go to the regular people, fans and people who loved the movies, who would truly treasure a piece of their childhood to pass on to their kids.
I was around 6 years old when i first see u on Movie called RAMBO, still enjoying seeing u until today 11,05,2024 on my birthday all the way from Ethiopia 🇪🇹
An appropriate truth also is…. No object can satisfy the human heart over time. (Aka “the eyes of man are never satisfied!” Proverbs 27:20.) Still, Love Stallone ! Not pretentious. Tells you exactly why he bought his watches. Up front and personal. Beautiful guy. Thanks Sly! Thanks for the moments of joyful escapism you gave us throughout the years.
Correct. Sly understands that the key to happiness isn't owning rare expensive watches. For those who collect watches...great! I enjoy watching luxury watch videos, yet I only own one of those watches because it was given to me. There is no real value to them other than they are coveted or rare. But they are facinating. I have no desire to buy one.
I’m not a wealthy person, but I’ve always told myself if I was lucky enough to stumble upon a lot of wealth, I wouldn’t spend my money on material items…. And I really believe that due to the fact that I’m a simple person, and really enjoy being a simple person…
It's wonderful to see Stallone kept his watch in a bag. Any other would have wear it around parties and interviews. It goes to show how much he treasures it, not just owning it, but loving it.
Sly is a huge influence on my journey to watch collecting than any other person because he wore and made them part of his journey in life, not mention he made them look cool. So thanks Sly and great collection indeed.
I understand what Sly’s saying at some point in your life you feel the need to share the things that made you happy and you know it’s time to let go and let somebody else enjoy it seems to be the case he’s there now and he’s sensible enough to recognize the time, I respect him more now.
Registered to bid and cannot wait. Thanks to Mr Stallone for sharing these. As a huge fan and fellow watch enthusiast what an absolute honour to be able to participate.
After putting so much effort into the acquisition of that Patek, with Patek accepting him and personalising it, why does he not simply bequeath it to a family member.
i cannot wrap my head around it, like one of most complicated expensive watches ever made and you have to beg people to be able to purchase it just to never even take it out of the plastic lol cant even "admire it", you cant see the watch from the plastic. waste of space
These watches should only go to collectors (not flippers!) who truly admires and are really into watches, I doubt any of his family members are into watches like he does. I mean, I would have auction it off too if I notice my children are wearing Apple watches as their daily drivers and has no passion whatsoever about watches
Probably because his other family members aren’t enthusiasts and don’t appreciate them the way he and many others do? 🤷♂️ He would probably rather see them go to people that value them beyond their price tags and at the same time, see how much they’ve appreciated with time, exclusivity and celebrity history attached. 👍
He really does have the best watch of our generation, but.. The creators being Patek Philippe wanted the watch to be owned by a distinguished individual, and for him to sell it feels like a disservice to the watch and its purpose.
Hi Mr. Stallone, I own a Timex watch that does nothing else other than telling the time. Oh, it has Indiglo which allows you to see the time in the dark. I wear it whenever I leave my home. I often dreamed of having a nice watch (something in the $200 range), but if you would like to have my watch, I wouldn't mind passing it on to you to enjoy. You could wear this watch and when people see it on your wrist they would think "Oh, that's not Sly, the guy wearing that Timex is broke". 😂
It is very impressive to witness Mr Stallone's multiple gifts and talents! He is an excellent conversationalist, and did a fantastic job presenting such a unique collection
Great video. I love the analogy Sly gives at the beginning about the guy with the cheap watch saying his watch tells the same time as Sly's very expensive watch. Sly goes on to say that watch collecting for him has not been about a watch's ability to tell the time, rather the way each watch marks a time in his life and his watch collecting journey. Such a salient point; I've always taken joy in my modest collection and thought about them in the same manner. It's the emotion and backstory that goes with each watch.
Sad to see a Grandmaster Chime not even removed from the bag. Watches are meant to be worn, even a 2-3 million dollar watch. Fact he wanted to keep it in the bag shows that maximizing value and flipping was his only aim. I would say the fact its still in the wrapper tells me its not a Sylvester Stallone watch because he never even wore it. Might has well rip that name tag off the box. Hopefully the new owner at least gets it out of the stupid bag.
It never belonged to him, just like it never belonged to the auctioneer. They just held it until its real owner own day would make use of it. Makes him look quite money seeking - opposite of true wealth the watch is meant to represent
I cant imagine how sad the watchmaker(s) is that made this.Probably the crowning point in their career, and never running, never taken out of the horrible plastic bag. What a waste. I once heard "never spend more than a months salary on a watch, and never buy a watch you wont wear". Good advice, even for very very rich people.
Sly has two of the brands in the holy trinity. He also has the holy grail of PP. While I'm throwing around religious terms, he has also violated the first two commandments of PP. The first commandment states: Thou shalt not possess a Patek, only to be unworn and tucked away. The second commandment violated is: Thou shalt not flippith a Patek.
PP does not call the shots. Stallone those…..get real folks. Money and connections talk and Stallone can get anything his heart desires! You are seeing real power and wealth before your eyes in action. Nothing more to say. This is just how the world works unfortunately.
I just bought an Omega Planet Ocean; I know what he means when he says it gives you a sense of accomplishment. I'll never be able to afford any of the watches in Mr. Stallone's collection, but I feel kindred friendship with Mr. Stallone through watch collecting!
Many people think this man is not very clever / intelligent, I beg the differ. Mr. Stallone is classy, very articulated and intelligent. Loved the anecdote's.
Blue dial, Rose gold AP: 😍 But also, that final Patek - “admiring” it thru crappy plastic seems nonsensical (in terms of truly enjoying). But I get what it means for the value of the watch.
Judging by his comment that fine watches are about “keeping step with where you are in life” he admires it on a deeper level, almost metaphorically. So in that case the plastic is irrelevant.
I did not imagine this man out of all people would've have such nuanced, classy and subdued taste in watches. I imagined he would be rocking massive macho He's SO different than his on-screen characters!!!
I doubt he “needs” the money. These watches are a small portion of his collection - but I also agree, you’d think he would send that Cartier back to them for their museum, since they gave it to him. I get it, he’s 70 years old. I’m in my early 50s and have started consolidating my watch collection - mostly because I don’t want them (the watches) to be a burden to my family if something should happen to me. At least I can sell some of them now, and make sure I am getting fair prices - rather than my wife get ripped off by some shark after I’m gone.
@@porschefanatic1049 ok. Makes sense. There have been a few other recent Watch sales due to divorce recently. Russel Crowe, is one that comes to mind too.
@emiljimenez803 i think after 5 years you wont get ban. after that, you still can buy PP model, but no the same model that you sold. that 5 years gestation/blackout period is to prevent flippers.
I think it largely depends on how you approach the sale. I could be wrong, but I wouldn't be surprised if Sylvester Stallone approached Patek to let them know he would be selling the watch and sort of asked for permission/forgiveness. Maybe he's fallen out of love with the piece, maybe he needs the money. There's lots of reasonable explanations for selling this watch but the process should be handled delicately and with respect. The above is a far cry from flipping the watch within months of buying it and not informing Patek that you're looking to let go of it for xyz reason. Person A is probably deprioritised as a client, no longer given access to the most sought after Patek's, but not banned and might have the chance to gain access to the more sought after pieces in the coming years. Person B is banned for life with no opportunity for redemption.
I love his interview speaking about his beautiful watches and willing to sell them,and not holding on to, and letting someone else enjoy this wonderful collection that his hard work was able to give himself with proud accomplishments..Great Actor and Really Cool Guy☆♡
This isn’t his first video selling his watches. His last video a few years ago he was selling his Richard Mille, people were clowning him and then a few years later every rich guy wants RM. plus, what better way to sell your watches then on the internet? Some rich guy would love to get a watch owned by one of the most iconic actors
If I had to guess he just doesn't wear them, like he said he's older and not into the big flashy style pieces anymore. He's still got a massive Rolex collection which I think is the brand he only really likes
A self made man. Starting out at ground level. Working hard, taking chances. Gets success. Buys nice things. But never hoards and covets those things. Doesnt let them become the center of attention. And capable of moving them on down the line at some point. Thats prety cool.
I've recently began my obsession as a watch collector. And i must say- out of all the luxury brands I've been researching, for me the MAMACOO's watches are the most intriguing.
Sly Stallone is one of the very few Hollywood personalities that I still love and respect, because I know he truly values his fans and I feel his love back. Something most of the rest of Hollyweird seems to have forgotten, if they ever had it!
When he said "You've cost me a fortune" when recalling an old story at 4:50 I was thinking actually he's going to make a ton more money cause all those watches are even more expensive today and because of the stories now attached to them. Amazing collection especially that first Patek.
@@user-gr3tg2yk6o-24_डफ़क once you said servant, it literally tell a lot about your delusional self. However, you don’t know a Dayuuummmm thing about watches so hush your lil mouth lil man.
Do you even know what that is would be the better question! Then you’d know, A Lange & Sohne doesn’t hold a candle to that Grandmaster Chime! Most expensive Lange is what, 2.5 mil? So basically half of what that Patek will bring! Just the hours that go into the engraving pay the engravers more than most of the Lange collection, lol ! They’re not even in the top 10... To where as the Patek Grandmaster Chime is the worlds 3rd most expensive timepiece! Only behind two Graff Diamonds timepieces.
@@Sebrof3 and that is the problem with lDl0T$ like you who immediately associate a higher price with higher quality ….. A Lange and Sohne id the greatest watch maker in the Universe and you know this crappy patek cannot even best the Japanese master Grand Seiko ….. Patek is just brand name with no real technical innovation
I love it, selling that Patek grand with your name engraved on the box to ,,!,, Patek and their exclusivity, background checks, and all that bs time waster just to buy a watch. Patek must be fuming 😂 I hope some low class thug with 10lbs gold chain around the neck buys it and wears it lol
I understand his passion for watches. I have a watch collection. None cost me over $100 delivered, brand new or used I am not envious of the person who has the $200,000 watch. Today I am wearing a Bertucci field watch with a material strap. Most days I wear a much used Wenger military watch on a Spidell twist-a-flex metal band. Last December, I purchased a minimalist Bulova corporate watch that I had wanted for years - about $80. I give new watches as gifts. Last year, three to graduating students. I went to an adult birthday party in March. The other three people wore Rollex. They loves their watches. They know I work on watches and could afford to buy a few Rollex. It is just that I like different categories. Like the better part of the collection are 1960-1980 restored quartz gold watches with new leather bands.
That will be a genuine regret in his life to have toiled and begged and pleaded to eventually be granted the privilege of owning the rarest most coveted watch of all time to then only see it, touch it and experience it through a 5p plastic bag. No point in owning it at all. If this is enjoying something then I’m doing it wrong. I would’ve loved to hear about him wearing this on the beach and on set and banging it around - now that is enjoying something, he can absolutely afford it. Come on Sly, you’re better than this bud.
@@aimz-_-skilzz-_8488 I hear you but you miss my point. Pass on by all means but enjoy the thing, don’t keep it in a plastic bag like a stick of salami, especially with his wealth. In fact I’d say any wear and tear inflicted on it by him may even increase its worth!
8:00 This is why I can't stand junkie collectors. I understand that a wealthy watch collector would want to get his hands on a very expensive and exclusive watch. Why would Stallone spend millions of dollars on "the most complicated wristwatch ever made" only to literally keep it inside a ziplok bag inside of a wooden box, never to be worn, never to be marred by disgusting human fingerprints, never to even be looked uponst by disgusting human eyeballs for years until he resells it to some other rich collector, so the untouched sealed away boxed away watch can spend another 30 years sitting in a dark closet? This is the height of useless, decadent luxury for its own sake. At least wear the goddamn thing even ONCE. Wear it to a movie premiere, wear it to a wedding, do ANYTHING with it except treat it like an untouchable glowing rod of uranium. Sell it to a museum or something so that someone, anyone at all can gain some kind of enjoyment and knowledge out of the damn thing.
Stallone had more dialogue in this interview than his last 5 movies. Had no idea he still speaks so fluidly.

I’m sure he cares much about what they think, he made a cool $2.5m
Patek Phillippe should pull a Hertz - report the watch and stolen and go repossess it from the person who bought it 😂
It's nice to see someone celebrate their own success publicly and not shy away from it. More people should be happy for the wealthy and strive to improve themselves.
Most are too busy finding fault or criticizing other's successes to improve themselves.
Absolute legend, dream watch collection. What I particularly appreciate (being a watch collector and a watch enthusiast myself) is the fact that he is ready and able to let go of things. I love the mindset of giving the opportunity to somebody else to own such beautiful pieces! I would buy the grand chime tomorrow if I had the cash for it!
Keep collecting them Temu watch’s lol
He's not 'giving' them to someone else to enjoy. He's selling them for a sizeable profit.
He’s most famous for playing characters in the movies who are especially inarticulate, so a lot of people might not know what a thoughtful and intelligent man he is. For a treat, watch one of his movies that has one of his behind the scenes commentary tracks. He’s very funny and has a genius for movie making.
Mr. Stallone is incredibly erudite in this interview. He explains horology so beautifully. He understands the details of watch collecting without losing sight of the big picture. This is a man who deserves all of his success. Great interview!
You are being sarcastic right? I hope so. He said absolutely nothing that couldnt be said or that wouldnt be said by an "everyday" watch wearer! He gave no insight on how any of the movements work, didnt go into detail about anything really. So i dont think your comment is accurate. Sly is def a cool guy and deserves everything he has. But your comment is horseshit
No sarcasm at all. You're right about the notion that he used simple statements to explain the hobby of collecting. The interview did lack the fundamental details of how the machine works. But there is no need to do that. It's a somewhat emotional interview about watch collecting. We don't need to bring the physics and mathematics into play regarding exactly how each complication works. There are plenty of certified master licensed watchmakers that do that. Maybe my comment was slightly over the top. But try to remember what the title of the video is. It essentially deals with the joys, pleasures and appreciation in collecting these complex machines that take years to design and produce. Again, he really is a smart and talented nice person deserving his success. At least we agree on that.
The real value here is Mr Stallone's great attitude to life, there is a lot to take away, the watches are pretty cool too.
An absolute legend and truly inspiring gentleman. That Day-date is indeed PURE CLASS. In bocca al Lupo for the auction, grazie signore Stallone!!! 🙏🙏🙏

@theurbangentry Long time fan of your channel. I got my RG DayDate a while back and made a video on my channel. It’s my favourite and even surpasses a few of my Patek’s in that regard.

You can really sense his passion for timepieces-his pride and joy in talking about them was evident. Truly refreshing, and what an amazing collection!
I am really glad to see this bit of documentary recorded and made public. The world of high craft watches is a commentary on Human achievement. Plenty of science fiction novels allude to this level of craftsmanship; and here we have examples of our time.
Couldn't stop watching this!

I’m a watch guy myself and I’ve been lucky enough to own some really nice watches but nothing on the level of Sly’s collection but then again not many of us will ever get close to his collection. If these are what he’s selling can you even imagine what he’s kept? I bet it’s awe inspiring. The Patek Grand Master is definitely the pinnacle, however I recently acquired my W serial Rolex Sea Dweller and it’s a really minty example and I feel blessed to be able to have something so frivolous in nature. My 9 year old wears a little digital watch and like Sly said, we both have the exact same time keeping ability, however every morning when I put my Sea Dweller on it makes me feel special. That’s why I like my Rolex watches, they make me feel special.
nobody cares, but enjoy your gadgets!
@@billmoyer3254 Nobody cares is not the same as you don't care. Sly selling his watches was a big deal in the watch community. Not gadgets as much as art.
I’ve always liked Sylvester Stallone, growing up in his era and enjoying his hit movies as a kid was simply remarkable and enjoyable.
Classy dude all the way!
Your closet is simple a dream! Not just the *gtdupe* bags but the ready to wear that you have is absolutely stunning.
Sly will always be an Icon from my childhood. So many great movies, so many great memories. I grew up with this badass, Rocky, Rambo, Dread, Cobra and so many others. I hope he know how much he shaped us boys, and how much we loved him back in the day.
Its unfortunate that commoners like myself could never get one of Sly's watches. They will go to rich collectors who will pass them off in years to come for bigger profits. It would be a beautiful thing to have some go to the regular people, fans and people who loved the movies, who would truly treasure a piece of their childhood to pass on to their kids.
Man, this showcase is the best of its kind. Thank you for this absolute beauty.
Glad you enjoy it!
I was around 6 years old when i first see u on Movie called RAMBO, still enjoying seeing u until today 11,05,2024 on my birthday all the way from Ethiopia 🇪🇹
Tiger Mafia is way better
An appropriate truth also is….
No object can satisfy the human heart over time.
(Aka “the eyes of man are never satisfied!”
Proverbs 27:20.)
Still, Love Stallone !
Not pretentious. Tells you exactly why he bought his watches.
Up front and personal.
Beautiful guy.
Thanks Sly!
Thanks for the moments of joyful escapism you gave us throughout the years.
Correct. Sly understands that the key to happiness isn't owning rare expensive watches. For those who collect watches...great! I enjoy watching luxury watch videos, yet I only own one of those watches because it was given to me. There is no real value to them other than they are coveted or rare. But they are facinating. I have no desire to buy one.
I’m not a wealthy person, but I’ve always told myself if I was lucky enough to stumble upon a lot of wealth, I wouldn’t spend my money on material items…. And I really believe that due to the fact that I’m a simple person, and really enjoy being a simple person…
It's wonderful to see Stallone kept his watch in a bag. Any other would have wear it around parties and interviews. It goes to show how much he treasures it, not just owning it, but loving it.
He sold it 😂
Thank you getting Panerai on the map! You started it all, for the rest of us....
👏👏👏
@@theurbangentryyou suck brother with fake subscribers and fake persona
But they're ugly AF
Yeah but now panerai is dying. Thats why he is selling his one of one piece 🤣
@@Cosmystery it’s interesting that he’s unloading all of these watches and not keeping them for his children or grandchildren. Not even the Pateks.
I loved watching Sly talk with such passion about these watches. Wonderful stuff that’s before we even talk about the watches…
Sly is a huge influence on my journey to watch collecting than any other person because he wore and made them part of his journey in life, not mention he made them look cool. So thanks Sly and great collection indeed.
sly and arnie were my 80's!! the fact that he's a serious watch collector just makes him even more cooler
I understand what Sly’s saying at some point in your life you feel the need to share the things that made you happy and you know it’s time to let go and let somebody else enjoy it seems to be the case he’s there now and he’s sensible enough to recognize the time, I respect him more now.
No matter how many watches he owns, his Panerai will always be cemented with Sylvester Stallone's legacy 👊
Still can't wrap my head around how he can sell any of the Panerai. Not to mention the Patek
Registered to bid and cannot wait. Thanks to Mr Stallone for sharing these. As a huge fan and fellow watch enthusiast what an absolute honour to be able to participate.
After putting so much effort into the acquisition of that Patek, with Patek accepting him and personalising it, why does he not simply bequeath it to a family member.
i cannot wrap my head around it, like one of most complicated expensive watches ever made and you have to beg people to be able to purchase it just to never even take it out of the plastic lol
cant even "admire it", you cant see the watch from the plastic. waste of space
Maybe they are not watch people. It looses all the value when you dont care about it. He will probably fund something more meaningful with that money.
He has only daughters who care about dresses not watches for men
These watches should only go to collectors (not flippers!) who truly admires and are really into watches, I doubt any of his family members are into watches like he does. I mean, I would have auction it off too if I notice my children are wearing Apple watches as their daily drivers and has no passion whatsoever about watches
Probably because his other family members aren’t enthusiasts and don’t appreciate them the way he and many others do? 🤷♂️ He would probably rather see them go to people that value them beyond their price tags and at the same time, see how much they’ve appreciated with time, exclusivity and celebrity history attached. 👍
best quote "it's not about keeping time, it's about keeping in step with where you are in life."
He really does have the best watch of our generation, but.. The creators being Patek Philippe wanted the watch to be owned by a distinguished individual, and for him to sell it feels like a disservice to the watch and its purpose.
😂
Also who wants to own a watch with someone else's name plastered all over it
Me
Sly is so important to me. From never giving up to his bull mastiff in Rocky. HERO
Hi Mr. Stallone, I own a Timex watch that does nothing else other than telling the time. Oh, it has Indiglo which allows you to see the time in the dark. I wear it whenever I leave my home. I often dreamed of having a nice watch (something in the $200 range), but if you would like to have my watch, I wouldn't mind passing it on to you to enjoy. You could wear this watch and when people see it on your wrist they would think "Oh, that's not Sly, the guy wearing that Timex is broke". 😂
The eyebrows of his advisor are the true work of art
It is very impressive to witness Mr Stallone's multiple gifts and talents! He is an excellent conversationalist, and did a fantastic job presenting such a unique collection
Great video. I love the analogy Sly gives at the beginning about the guy with the cheap watch saying his watch tells the same time as Sly's very expensive watch. Sly goes on to say that watch collecting for him has not been about a watch's ability to tell the time, rather the way each watch marks a time in his life and his watch collecting journey. Such a salient point; I've always taken joy in my modest collection and thought about them in the same manner. It's the emotion and backstory that goes with each watch.
OMG, what a collection Mr. Stallone owns. Beautiful watches and a wonderful man.
Indeed...and those are just the watches he's willing to sell from his collection.
Couldn't agree more!
“I don’t know why I’m selling it” Me either Sly, Me either! 😂😂😂 As a long time Horology Enthusiast I can’t figure it out either.
Yup - especially his grandfather's watch😢 what about legacy for your kids does no one care about that anymore
@@errhka What are you talking about lmao this is a fraction of his collection.
Its facinating someone as accomplished as Stallone would need a watch to feel like "he's arrived".
Sad to see a Grandmaster Chime not even removed from the bag. Watches are meant to be worn, even a 2-3 million dollar watch. Fact he wanted to keep it in the bag shows that maximizing value and flipping was his only aim. I would say the fact its still in the wrapper tells me its not a Sylvester Stallone watch because he never even wore it. Might has well rip that name tag off the box. Hopefully the new owner at least gets it out of the stupid bag.
It never belonged to him, just like it never belonged to the auctioneer. They just held it until its real owner own day would make use of it. Makes him look quite money seeking - opposite of true wealth the watch is meant to represent
Sad to say. But that watch will never come out of that bag.
I cant imagine how sad the watchmaker(s) is that made this.Probably the crowning point in their career, and never running, never taken out of the horrible plastic bag. What a waste. I once heard "never spend more than a months salary on a watch, and never buy a watch you wont wear". Good advice, even for very very rich people.
Sly has two of the brands in the holy trinity. He also has the holy grail of PP. While I'm throwing around religious terms, he has also violated the first two commandments of PP. The first commandment states: Thou shalt not possess a Patek, only to be unworn and tucked away. The second commandment violated is: Thou shalt not flippith a Patek.
lol, especially one that you wrote essays for and have your name engraved on the dang box. My goodness lol.
@@WordMadeFlesh777 Exactly. This news that he plans to auction it, along with a few other PPs cannot have gone over well with the Sterns.
PP does not call the shots. Stallone those…..get real folks. Money and connections talk and Stallone can get anything his heart desires! You are seeing real power and wealth before your eyes in action. Nothing more to say. This is just how the world works unfortunately.

Beatiful collection, and just from listenting to Sly talk, you know he collected with love, for the watches themselves, not to show off his wealth.
I just bought an Omega Planet Ocean; I know what he means when he says it gives you a sense of accomplishment. I'll never be able to afford any of the watches in Mr. Stallone's collection, but I feel kindred friendship with Mr. Stallone through watch collecting!

Many people think this man is not very clever / intelligent, I beg the differ. Mr. Stallone is classy, very articulated and intelligent. Loved the anecdote's.
“It’s not about the time, but a sense of accomplishment” LOOOL
Blue dial, Rose gold AP: 😍
But also, that final Patek - “admiring” it thru crappy plastic seems nonsensical (in terms of truly enjoying). But I get what it means for the value of the watch.
Judging by his comment that fine watches are about “keeping step with where you are in life” he admires it on a deeper level, almost metaphorically. So in that case the plastic is irrelevant.
super collection . ill take that ROLEX DAY DATE / GREEN DIAL / GOLD . - they are all fabulous ~ JDS/CT

Watches not only tell time, it tells you that you achieved a milestone and remind you that it’s temporary , you need to let it go when it’s time.
So that guy with the $3 watch is a bum right?
Why would you sell the Cartier that you got from the CEO ,don’t get it ,but some lovely timepieces 👍❤️🏴
he needs the money
I doubt he “needs” the money. These watches are a small portion of his collection - but I also agree, you’d think he would send that Cartier back to them for their museum, since they gave it to him. I get it, he’s 70 years old. I’m in my early 50s and have started consolidating my watch collection - mostly because I don’t want them (the watches) to be a burden to my family if something should happen to me. At least I can sell some of them now, and make sure I am getting fair prices - rather than my wife get ripped off by some shark after I’m gone.
@@complicatedtime not sure if it’s just tabloids but his wife wanted a divorce due to financial issues
@@porschefanatic1049 ok. Makes sense. There have been a few other recent Watch sales due to divorce recently. Russel Crowe, is one that comes to mind too.
Simple answer: it’s not that important to him
Does selling the 6300 get you ban from ADs?
I think so! If I would be one of the Sterns I would ban him to by any Patek after this.
@emiljimenez803 i think after 5 years you wont get ban. after that, you still can buy PP model, but no the same model that you sold. that 5 years gestation/blackout period is to prevent flippers.
I think it largely depends on how you approach the sale.
I could be wrong, but I wouldn't be surprised if Sylvester Stallone approached Patek to let them know he would be selling the watch and sort of asked for permission/forgiveness. Maybe he's fallen out of love with the piece, maybe he needs the money. There's lots of reasonable explanations for selling this watch but the process should be handled delicately and with respect.
The above is a far cry from flipping the watch within months of buying it and not informing Patek that you're looking to let go of it for xyz reason. Person A is probably deprioritised as a client, no longer given access to the most sought after Patek's, but not banned and might have the chance to gain access to the more sought after pieces in the coming years. Person B is banned for life with no opportunity for redemption.
He is getting old and probably wanted the watch to go to another collector that would cherish it like he did.
It depends. Depends on who you are.
I guess Patek will be not very happy with this.... maybe they will put him on the black list.
Doubt he cares, I think his main focus is collecting Rolex more than any other brand
I'm sure he was getting free watches from some other company before Patek and will likely do the same now.
I love his interview speaking about his beautiful watches and willing to sell them,and not holding on to, and letting someone else enjoy this wonderful collection that his hard work was able to give himself with proud accomplishments..Great Actor and Really Cool Guy☆♡
That last patek is incredible
It looks awful,at least be honest
@@ArtVandelayOfficial enlighten me on what you find beautiful? Let me guess Jacob&Co or some Richard Mille?

Is Stallone running out of cash trying to sell these?
Don’t be silly he’ will never run out of money he can get by just on his royalties for rocky
One of the most beautiful collections I’ve ever stared at
People criticize TH-camrs or influencers for putting their name on stuff. This dude did the same thing, just made $2.4 Mil profit on it.
Does he owe the mob money why he’s selling these
This isn’t his first video selling his watches. His last video a few years ago he was selling his Richard Mille, people were clowning him and then a few years later every rich guy wants RM. plus, what better way to sell your watches then on the internet? Some rich guy would love to get a watch owned by one of the most iconic actors
If I had to guess he just doesn't wear them, like he said he's older and not into the big flashy style pieces anymore. He's still got a massive Rolex collection which I think is the brand he only really likes

I've recently began my obsession as a watch collector. And i must say- out of all the luxury brands I've been researching, for me the MAMACOO's watches are the most intriguing.
Sly Stallone is one of the very few Hollywood personalities that I still love and respect, because I know he truly values his fans and I feel his love back. Something most of the rest of Hollyweird seems to have forgotten, if they ever had it!
Beautiful hairline - Sly just came back from Turkey.
I love Patek Phillipe. The 5711 with green face is my favorite.
New to watches?
Me too, that stainless frame! classy
Yeah the more plain ones looks far more beautiful
That last Grandmaster Chime is just ugly, especially the face but people like it for the value
shocking transplant
I totally agree with other subscribers who nicely commented on his dialogue.
Well done, Sylvester, and to all the other subscribers.
When he said "You've cost me a fortune" when recalling an old story at 4:50 I was thinking actually he's going to make a ton more money cause all those watches are even more expensive today and because of the stories now attached to them. Amazing collection especially that first Patek.

Do you even know what that is would be the better question! Then you’d know, A Lange & Sohne doesn’t hold a candle to that Grandmaster Chime! Most expensive Lange is what, 2.5 mil? So basically half of what that Patek will bring! Just the hours that go into the engraving pay the engravers more than most of the Lange collection, lol ! They’re not even in the top 10... To where as the Patek Grandmaster Chime is the worlds 3rd most expensive timepiece! Only behind two Graff Diamonds timepieces.

Collecting watches is like watching paint dry
Once you reach that level of collecting, the major difference is now you can watch that paint dry on your mansion!
Well you get to write letters saying why you deserve to own a watch though. Don't forget that. That has got to be at least somewhat thrilling.
I love it, selling that Patek grand with your name engraved on the box to ,,!,, Patek and their exclusivity, background checks, and all that bs time waster just to buy a watch. Patek must be fuming 😂 I hope some low class thug with 10lbs gold chain around the neck buys it and wears it lol
same thing i was thinking. What hes doing is the reason they didnt want to give it to him
He’s not only selling his watches , he is selling his memory’s . Does he owe someone money ?
I’ve always loved Sylvester Stallone. Even through the movies you can still see his good character.
I understand his passion for watches. I have a watch collection. None cost me over $100 delivered, brand new or used I am not envious of the person who has the $200,000 watch.
Today I am wearing a Bertucci field watch with a material strap. Most days I wear a much used Wenger military watch on a Spidell twist-a-flex metal band. Last December, I purchased a minimalist Bulova corporate watch that I had wanted for years - about $80.
I give new watches as gifts. Last year, three to graduating students.
I went to an adult birthday party in March. The other three people wore Rollex. They loves their watches. They know I work on watches and could afford to buy a few Rollex. It is just that I like different categories. Like the better part of the collection are 1960-1980 restored quartz gold watches with new leather bands.
That will be a genuine regret in his life to have toiled and begged and pleaded to eventually be granted the privilege of owning the rarest most coveted watch of all time to then only see it, touch it and experience it through a 5p plastic bag. No point in owning it at all. If this is enjoying something then I’m doing it wrong. I would’ve loved to hear about him wearing this on the beach and on set and banging it around - now that is enjoying something, he can absolutely afford it. Come on Sly, you’re better than this bud.
Agree.
He's 78 years old, it's a better time to sell than to die and have this collection fall into the wrong hands.
@@aimz-_-skilzz-_8488 I hear you but you miss my point. Pass on by all means but enjoy the thing, don’t keep it in a plastic bag like a stick of salami, especially with his wealth. In fact I’d say any wear and tear inflicted on it by him may even increase its worth!
It's ugly anyway
8:00 This is why I can't stand junkie collectors. I understand that a wealthy watch collector would want to get his hands on a very expensive and exclusive watch. Why would Stallone spend millions of dollars on "the most complicated wristwatch ever made" only to literally keep it inside a ziplok bag inside of a wooden box, never to be worn, never to be marred by disgusting human fingerprints, never to even be looked uponst by disgusting human eyeballs for years until he resells it to some other rich collector, so the untouched sealed away boxed away watch can spend another 30 years sitting in a dark closet? This is the height of useless, decadent luxury for its own sake. At least wear the goddamn thing even ONCE. Wear it to a movie premiere, wear it to a wedding, do ANYTHING with it except treat it like an untouchable glowing rod of uranium. Sell it to a museum or something so that someone, anyone at all can gain some kind of enjoyment and knowledge out of the damn thing.
Agree he never owned it, he just passed it along
