Only seven models of the Grandmaster Chime were ever made, given that it is the most complicated wristwatch ever manufactured by the famous luxury watchmakers.

As such, Sotheby’s dubbed it the “holy grail” for watch collectors, appreciated for its extraordinarily intricate mechanisms that took 100,000 hours to develop, produce and assemble.

It features 20 complications – functions that go beyond telling the time – such as five chiming mechanisms and a date repeater which audibly indicate both the date and time.


“This is not easy to come by,” Stallone said. “I had to appeal to certain powers that be, write many letters to the board and eventually it was determined that I was going to be the owner of one of these magnificent pieces of art.”

Other memorabilia comes with the watch too, including a presentation box engraved with Stallone’s name and an iPad and Airpods each complete with a Patek Phillipe case.
