Rolex is auctioning four one-off Daytona watches, each season-themed, at Phillips in London on Sept. 28 to benefit the Federer Foundation and re:Wild.

Representative Dean Phillips is seen as a master of networking and working a room at political events, according to E&E News. Phillips, a Democrat from Minnesota, has been noted for his ability to connect with people and build relationships, which has helped him gain influence in Congress.
Phillips' "20th Century to Now" sale in London concluded the city's summer auctions with lackluster results, bringing in just over £9 million ($11.4 million), in contrast to the more successful auctions held by Christie's and Sotheby's. Several lots failed to reach their reserve prices, including works by Warhol, Banksy, and Kusama. The sale featured a collection from the late Thomas B. Lemann, with some works selling below their estimates. However, the auction ended on a high note with Albert Willem's artwork fetching an astonishing £180,000 ($290,239) against an estimate of £10,000-£15,000.
