"We don't usually write about watches around here, but if an exception to the rule exists, it's this: A Heuer Monaco worn by Steve McQueen during the production of Le Mans is going to auction. The Monaco rose to fame following the release of Le Mans, where it garnered dozens of minutes of screen time strapped to McQueen's wrist. The watch and its funky square case featured prominently on advertising material for the film. It became attached to McQueen's brand of cool and to that golden age of racing..."

For celebrity watches this has got to be in the top 5.
I am going to throw out the first guess.

1.5 Million. I think it will sell for more than Jack Nicklaus's President.

Absolutely gorgeous.

I've always loved the Monaco! Le Mans is such an excellent movie. Those 917s in Gulf Livery are incredible. I do believe J.Seinfeld owns one of the 917s used in filming "Le Mans" Maybe he should bid on the watch? It would be incredible to pair the two again.
