RJ,

He probably just filled up the tank of his green Ferrari 456 GT, notiched that he forgot his DD OQ in his hotel in Maranello and had just enough pocketmoney to get this one. I think that with a story like that the value of the watch would double.

Martijn,

I assume he forgot his yellow gold Day-Date OsterQuartz one day and picked this one up at Rolex in Switzerland.

Strange to see this common steel Date-model as watch of the Prince. I clearly recall a full gold model around his wrist on several occasions before he passed away.

I agree that it is rather strange that they put it out for auction. I dont think that it will be because of the money……
