Last month, we filled you guys in on 6 oddball watches of an oddball comedian, following the announcement that Sotheby's would be auctioning various collections of art, furniture and watches that Robin Williams shared with his second wife, Marsha Garces Williams.Well, the results are in, and wrapping up the New York auction with a sale total of just over $6 million USD, the majority of the 310 lots sold. As we expected, all 44 watches sold for more than their auction estimates. The biggest earner was a gold-plated rectangular quartz Hamilton that Williams wore during filming of Dead Poets Society, which sold for $32,500 USD after an estimate of $1000 – $2000 USD. The most expensive, selling for $52,500 USD, was a white gold Franck Muller minute repeating tourbillon, which had an initial estimate of $25,000 – $35,000 USD.Below we've listed a few of our favourites, as well as the results of our 6 oddball picks.
