Last weekend, Miami was the entertainment hotspot in the United States. Formula One hit the Floridian tarmac for the first time since 1959, and a celebrity golf game sponsored by IWC featured the new TOP GUN line of timepieces. On the wrists of two legendary sporting champions, 7-time Formula One World Champion Sir Lewis Hamilton and 7-time American Football Champion and avid watch collector Tom Brady, the IWC TOP GUN series spent time in great company.
The IWC watches worn by Lewis and Tom will be sold at Bonhams auctions along with some of their personal items:
SIR LEWIS HAMILTON, estimate $50,000 – 100,000
2021 Big Pilot's Watch Perpetual Calendar TOP GUN Edition "Mojave Desert", Reference: IW503004, worn by seven-time Formula One™ World Champion Lewis Hamilton, together with a signed pair of Lewis' Puma Speedcat racing shoes from the 2022 Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grand Prix
