Great looking watch. A timeless classic. But I am still smitten with the 18K Daytona with black dial. I can't believe that Madoff's 2004 Daytona with that set up went for $29K -- basically the retail price of a new one. You will see the 18K Daytona from that year priced around $16K-$22K. The buyer paid a premium for Madoff's.
It was bought well. So long as the current owner has documentation to verify the provenance, the Madoff piece will hold its value much better than the same watch new, which only will depreciate. Another interested buyer may be willing to pay twice that.

Yes some people will want to pay a premium for owning a watch worn by someone so infamous.
