5. Eric Clapton’s 1971 Rolex Daytona Albino ($1.185 million)
When one thing was sold at a staggering price once, that is a great thing. But when it was sold twice and both made it to the most expensive record, that is amazing!
You saw this exclusive watch on our list down at 11th rank as it was sold for $505,000 at Sotheby’s back in 2008. Guess what, it made it back to the auction house and sold twice more expensive.
The smart investor gained more than a half million dollar profit by winning the bid in 2008 and selling it seven years later. This time it was at Phillips auction house during its comeback celebration back in 2015.
This unique timepiece was sold at £912,200 (approximately $1.185 million). However, it was only the third most expensive sold at the auction house that day. It was surpassed by another brand, Patek Philippe.
