For those of you who need a refresher on this watch's backstory, here's the quick version: In 1984, a young man by the name of James Cox was dating Paul Newman's daughter Nell and was visiting the family in Connecticut. Paul asked James for the time, and when James said he didn't wear a watch, Paul gave him his. Yeah, pretty crazy, right? Now, after wearing the watch for a few decades, James has decided to put it up for auction, with some of the proceeds benefiting the Nell Newman Foundation (he and Nell are still good friends, though they broke up a long time ago). Those are just the basics, but if you want more details you can check out the HODINKEE Magazine, Volume 1, where Cara tells the full (much more convoluted) story of how this watch finally came to market.
