Sylvester Stallone is about to get a big payday after putting his watch collection up for auction, because one of the watches could literally fetch a king’s ransom.
As you may have heard, the ‘Rocky’ star is selling 11 watches from his personal collection through Sotheby’s next month… and one crown jewel, in particular, has one watch expert freaking out because it’s incredibly rare (and very expensive).

YouTube Personality Nico Leonard van der Horst – who knows everything about watches – told TMZ … he just can’t believe Sly is parting with his ultra-rare Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime.
For us normies, it’s just a watch, but for van der Horst and co. … is the “Holy Grail”.
The Grandmaster Chime is one of the most complicated and unique wristwatches ever made – with only a small handful in circulation – which is why Leonard says it will cost well over $5 million, which is what it’s predicted to achieve when is actually sold. for sale.
The last time a Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime was auctioned, it sold for a record $31 million. That was in 2019, and that one wasn’t owned by Rambo, which is why Leonard tells us this one by Sly will likely cost a lot more than the $5 million estimate.
As for what’s so special about it… it gives us a sense of what it can do and why it’s a collector’s item – and apparently it’s all about functionality, anywhere in the world.

The other 10 watches include a separate Patek Philippe model expected to cost six figures, along with a 60-year-old Rolex and several Panerai watches, one that Sly wore in 1996’s “Daylight.”
In short, he’ll be cleaning up a lot, especially for Chime.
If Leonard is right, Sly will be several million dollars richer at the end of this. The auction takes place in New York on June 5th.
