For celebrity watches this has got to be in the top 5.

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.
