Full Provenance with COA - Part of our Renowned Celebrity Collection - 1 Year Warranty

Today's offering showcases this very cool and stylish ladies Philippe Stein Dual Time watch owned and worn by the late Dame Olivia Newton-John.

Dame Newton-John is best known as leading lady Sandy who starred alongside Hollywood legend John Travolta in Grease, one of the most popular movies of all time.

Its enormous popularity has endured through the years - when it was re-released for its 20th anniversary in 1998 it ranked as the second highest-grossing film behind Titanic in its opening weekend. Its soundtrack is also one of the most successful in history, with the single "You're the One That I Want", with John Travolta, one of the best selling singles of all time.

Besides achieving legendary status as an actress, she is an amazingly accomplished singer. She is a four-time Grammy award winner who has amassed five number-one and ten other top ten Billboard Hot 100 singles, and two number-one Billboard 200 solo albums. Her four Grammy awards include winning for Best Country Female, Record of the Year, and Best Pop Vocal Performance Female.

She has also won a People's Choice Award for Favorite Film Actress, and was nominated for a Golden Globe as Best Actress in a Musical and won an Academy of Country Music award for Most Promising Female Vocalist.

Eleven of her singles (including two platinum) and fourteen of her albums (including two platinum and four double platinum) have been certified gold by the RIAA. She has sold an estimated 100 million records worldwide, making her one of the world's best-selling artists of all time.

She became just the second woman to have two singles - "Hopelessly Devoted to You" and "Summer Nights" - in the Billboard top 5 simultaneously.

Besides her incredible success as an actress and a singer, she has long been an advocate for many humanitarian causes and recently raised $2.4 million dollars for cancer research.

This distinctively retro modern styled, full-featured ladies watch has two independently functioning and adjustable movements so that the correct time can be kept in two different time zones. It is well-suited for a sophisticated, globe-trotting woman.

It was clearly worn and enjoyed by Dame Newton-John through it remains in good condition. We have not cleaned or polished the watch or done anything to the outside of it - we left it just as we acquired it. The only work we have done on the watch is one of our Master Watchmakers has installed a new battery making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity. Also accompanying it is a Certificate of Authenticity and Provenance from a well-known auction house.

Our Selling & Shipping Information:

100% satisfaction guarantee for all of our watches. If you are in any way unsatisfied with it, you are welcome to return it in the condition it was sold anytime within 30 days for a full refund of the purchase price. Our goal is to exceed your expectations throughout the buying experience. We hope you love it!
The water resistance of vintage watches can no longer be guaranteed and is not covered under the watch's warranty. We don't recommend getting a vintage watch wet - and really don't recommend showering or diving with it - even one that was originally designed to be waterproof.
We have extensive international shipping experience. In the last 12 years we have safely shipped thousands of high value watches around the world (to over 70 countries!).
All items are packaged very carefully and mailed in large reinforced shipping boxes appropriate for high value items so you don't need to worry about your watch arriving safely. Wait until you see how big the box is that your watch is coming in!

(Please do remember though that while we do our very best and have careful procedures and quality control inspections - we will again fully re-test the proper functioning of your watch after you pay, right before we send it to you - from time to time some courier workers don't handle packages the way we think that they would want their own packages to be handled.

Watches are ultra-precision instruments, and the timekeeping of most is governed by a small spring that is only about 1/8 the thickness of a human hair. The vast majority of our watches arrive safely and problem free. However at times vintage watches and their hairsprings can be sensitive to rough courier handling or just having a difficult trip to you.

But even on a bad day there's still good news... We offer a full one-year warranty on virtually every watch we sell (unless occasionally specifically stated otherwise), so if anything happens to it in transit or goes wrong anytime in the first year, we will gladly repair it for you at no charge. Yes, even the older vintage watches. So sit back, relax, and dream about the first place where you're going to wear your new watch!
Our official warranty in many ways mirrors those of a number of the watch manufacturers and covers the proper timekeeping of the movement. It does not cover things like abuse, being dropped, crystals, bracelets, crowns, case parts etc. or water resistance. While we are the sole determinants of what qualifies for warranty work.... even if you have a problem that you don't think will qualify for coverage, tell us about it anyway. We are here to serve and just might be able to help you.
Winning bidders must fully pay within 48 hours of the end of the auction. After 48 hours the watch will be relisted.
To be fair to all bidders, we make it our practice not to end an auction early.
Because of the high rate of lost items and number of fraudulent payments, we do not sell or ship to Indonesia or Africa.
