What\u2019s it worth? Sure, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/paul-newman-rolex-daytona\">Paul Newman\u2019s Paul Newman pulled in north of $17M<\/a>, and Jackie O\u2019s Cartier tank cleared over $375k, but what about the King of Rock \u2018n Roll? Phillips is putting an estimate on the piece between 50 and 100k CHF (basically just north of $100k USD on the high end), but there\u2019s some debate to be had here. The PN went down as the most desirable Rolex Daytona of all time, and the buyer of Jackie\u2019s Tank was none other than Kim Kardashian. By comparison, a JLC owned by Bob Hope\u2014at a watch level, at least on the same level\u2014barely cracked the $30,000 mark this past year. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sure, we know that Elvis has more fans out there than Bob Hope, but it still begs the question. Further to this, Antiquorum sold another Omega of Elvis\u2019 previously, once in 2012 for over $50,000, and then again in 2014 for less than $40,000. Further down the rabbit hole you go, the more other obscure Elvis watches you find having crossed the auction block with estimates in the $6-8K and $10-20k range, so if we take the current celeb trend out of the equation, it\u2019s hard to see this piece hitting its high estimate. That said, here are a number of details that give this Elvis Omega a touch more cachet.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20098\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20098\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20098 size-full\" title=\"Elvis Presley\u2019s Omega Watch also has diamonds encrusted within the bezel.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Elvis-Presley-Omega-4.jpg\" alt=\"Elvis Presley\u2019s Omega Watch\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Elvis-Presley-Omega-4.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Elvis-Presley-Omega-4-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Elvis-Presley-Omega-4-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Elvis-Presley-Omega-4-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Elvis-Presley-Omega-4-585x293.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20098\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elvis Presley\u2019s Omega Watch is estimated to go between CHF 53,000 to CHF 107,000.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Elvis Presley\u2019s Omega Watch<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From a distance, the Omega on offer doesn\u2019t seem like much, though it actually has a lot going for it before even getting to its celebrity pedigree. Cased in 18 carat white gold, the slender silver-dialed dress watch is set with 44 round cut brilliant diamonds on its bezel, which is almost surprising considering Elvis Presley\u2019s more \u201cflashy\u201d years did not come until later in his career. Its silvered dial features applied batton indices, as was the most common configuration of Omega pieces of the era. The piece is powered by the brand\u2019s hand-wound calibre 510, which is stamped OTX, designating the piece as having been meant for US export. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By now you\u2019ve likely noticed a much-desired inscription adorning its dial. As with a good number of desirable and highly collectible vintage timepieces, Elvis\u2019 Omega was retailed by Tiffany &amp; Co., and bears the company\u2019s name on its dial just below the logo and standard inscription of Omega. What\u2019s interesting with Tiffany dials\u2014as we discussed in greater length <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/rolex-info\/history-rolex-tiffany-dials.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in this feature on vintage Tiffany dial Rolex watches<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014is that (at least in the case of Rolex) some dials were stamped by Tiffany &amp; Co. themselves, whereas others were complete before the watches left the manufacture in Switzerland. In the case of Omega, it is unclear where this stamping took place, however overall authenticity is anything but a concern. The piece is well-documented through its history, and will be sold with a certificate of authenticity from the Elvis Presley Museum, as well as a book on Elvis that featured images of him wearing the watch in question.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20099\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20099\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20099 size-full\" title=\"Any guess on how much Elvis Presley\u2019s Omega Watch will go for?\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Elvis-Presley-Omega-3.jpg\" alt=\"Elvis Presley\u2019s Omega Watch\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Elvis-Presley-Omega-3.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Elvis-Presley-Omega-3-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Elvis-Presley-Omega-3-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Elvis-Presley-Omega-3-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Elvis-Presley-Omega-3-585x293.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20099\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The caseback of Elvis Presley\u2019s Omega Watch reads &#8220;To Elvis 75 Million Records RCA Victor 12-25-60&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>75 Million SOLD!<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The story behind Elvis coming to own the watch, as well as its transition into the hands of the present owner is an interesting one. On Christmas day of 1960, the king of rock and roll reached a significant benchmark in his career by selling 75 million records worldwide. Considering his hiatus from recording between 1958 and 1960, as Elvis served time in the U.S. Army, hitting this stratospheric number was no small feat to say the least. Exactly two months later, On February 25th 1961, RCA Victor held a charity event and concert, as it was now time to return the legendary performer to his position of glory at centerstage. Playing to a significant crowd including none other than the Governor of Tennessee\u2014who during the evening made a proclamation that the day would then be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elvis.com.au\/presley\/elvis-presley-february-25-1961.shtml\">known as Elvis Presley Day<\/a>\u2014the king\u2019s benchmark achievement was properly commemorated part way through the event. Not only was Elvis presented with the watch seen here, bearing the inscription \u201cTo Elvis, 75 Million Records, RCA Victor, 12-25-60\u201d, but also a plaque with a similar inscription which remains in Graceland to this day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those who\u2019ve traced the origin stories of other Elvis watches in the past will recall that the man was occasionally known for giving away some of his watches. Back in 1990, a watch gifted by Elvis to Redd Foxx was sold in an IRS auction for a modest $17,500, which went to paying off a part of the comedian\u2019s back taxes. In the case of the piece seen here, the story according to Phillips is an interesting one. So the story goes, the uncle of the current owner crossed paths with the king, and commented on how much he liked the Omega that Elvis happened to be wearing. Seeing the diamond-set Hamilton his fan was wearing, it is said that Elvis proposed they trade, and the rest was history.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20097\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20097\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20097 size-full\" title=\"Comment below\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Elvis-Presley-Omega-5-with-Book.jpg\" alt=\"Elvis Presley\u2019s Omega Watch\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Elvis-Presley-Omega-5-with-Book.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Elvis-Presley-Omega-5-with-Book-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Elvis-Presley-Omega-5-with-Book-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Elvis-Presley-Omega-5-with-Book-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Elvis-Presley-Omega-5-with-Book-585x293.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20097\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">What are your thoughts on Elvis Presley\u2019s Omega Watch?
