2014 saw the release of the feature film, The Judge starring Robert Downey Jr, Billy Bob Thornton and Robert Duval, who was Oscar nominated for his part. At the time, Downey Jr was in the middle a run of smash hit movies from the Marvel universe, breaking multiple box office records in the process.
As an avid watch collector, Downey Jr decided to present a handful of the cast and crew of The Judge with a personalized memento from the megastar, a gift of thanks for their hard work on the project. Already a Rolex fan and owner of a Hulk Ref 116610LV and customized GMT, he decided to gift this select group with a Milgauss Ref 116400 GV and have the case back engraved. The engraving reads ‘The Judge 2014, Team Downey Jr’.
This is the first time one of these exclusive pieces, from the private collection of a Hollywood actor, has ever been offered for public sale and presents a rare opportunity to acquire such a unique example of the Ref 116400GV.
