Press Release: 3 June 2018

Phillips in Association with Bacs & Russo, the market leader in watch auctions dedicated to highest quality timepieces, is delighted to announce the sale of a historically important and previously unknown Rolex Submariner owned and worn by Steve McQueen. Given by McQueen to his personal stuntman, Loren Janes, as a gift and inscribed on the caseback, “TO LOREN, THE BEST DAMN STUNTMAN IN THE WORLD. STEVE”, it was thought to have been lost in a fire.
