The 18-karat yellow gold watch could fetch up to $60,000 at Sotheby’s.
A legendary coach deserves a watch that’s downright presidential. So, it’s only fitting that the late Tom Landry wore an 18-karat gold“President” once owned and worn by the founding head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. The piece started appearing on Landry’s wrist in 1979, which he often paired with a powder blue suit and his signature fedora.
The watch’s case is crafted from a luminous 18-karat yellow gold, topped by a matching gold fluted bezel. A closer look reveals a Champagne dial with raised gold baton hour markers. The Day-Date also features a center sweep seconds hand, outer minutes and half-seconds divisions, a date aperture at 12 o’clock, and a Cyclops magnified date window at 3 o’clock. It comes with a matching 18-karat yellow gold bracelet that helps seal its “presidential” appeal.
Papers made out to “Mrs. Tom Landry” come with the coach’s Rolex Day-Date, as well as his infamous power blue suit, shirt, tie, and fedora that he won during Super Bowl XII. You can view the watch and its accompanying items on display at Sotheby’s New York from December 1 to 6 before it is auctioned off on December 7.
