According to Christie's, the 6298 came from Marmet's family, and it looks absolutely gorgeous and honest. The dial's taken on that warm, sand-colored link patina you love to link see, and the rest of the watch looks like it's got some scratches and nicks on it. And when you link get that perfect storm of condition and original provenance, you get a big result, probably as high as you'll see for a watch that, on the outside, seems like an unassuming, time-only 36mm Rolex.

With the recently released Norqain Freedom 60 GMT, there is a new watch that uses this type of movement, while eschewing the rotating 24-hour bezel one link finds on the watches many consider the leaders in the type – the link Rolex GMT-Master II, link and more recently, from Rolex's sibling brand, Tudor, the Black Bay GMT.

The overall design would certainly appeal to New York Knicks superfan Spike link Lee with its blue link and orange color scheme. The blue dial features a customized Looney Tunes character print in an almost lacquer-like finish, with orange accents on the hands and an link orange minute track.
