Recent Crazy Night For Charlie Sheen Leads To Lost Patek Philippe Watch

Filed under: Timepieces / Watches, Celebrity Shopping

Charlie Sheen discovered his Patek Philippe watch was missing and tore apart his hotel room at the Plaza Hotel in New York City. A known watch collector with millions of dollars worth of watches, Charlie Sheen was lividly trying to locate his hard-to-get Patek Philippe Ref. 5970 watch. Collectors love the classic high-end Patek with a chronograph, perpetual calendar, and moon phase indicator. It is worth well over $100,000.

The media calls it a "Sheen Meltdown," but he was really just looking for his timepiece that went missing on October 28th. The story goes deeper, though. Sheen blamed his "date" that night Capri Anderson for taking the watch. The two apparently met earlier in the night and ended up back at Sheen's hotel room where things got a bit out of control. Drugs and alcohol are obviously implicated - and Capri is said to have quickly become afraid of the 45 year old actor before locking herself into a bathroom. Forget the girl, at this point Charlie couldn't find the watch. Later taken to a hospital, Sheen's Patek was still on the loose. Does the porn star have it? The bell hop? Someone else? Sources are unclear about the events that led Anderson to Sheen's hotel room, and there have been suggestions that he was back to his old ways of paying for sex. Let's just hope that Sheen didn't inadvertently hock the watch at a pawn shop to pay for Capri's "fee."

Despite the media fiasco, I just feel bad for Charlie. When you are a watch lover, and have a timepiece that rare, you'd scour the earth to get it back if lost.

Most Coveted Items From The 'Lost' Auction

When a television show ends there are a lot of props. Some get used for other shows but many get sold off. After ABC's television show "Lost" had its finale last spring, there were plenty of items that were suddenly no longer needed. Hollywood props and memorabilia auctioneer Profiles in History is helping ABC Studios to auction off costumes, props and various set pieces from the show in a massive two-day auction event at the the Barker Hanger at Santa Monica Airport on August 21 and 22. Over 1,000 items are being auctioned off from costumes, to Volkswagen vans to pieces of Oceanic Flight 815 like the airplane chairs shown above. Our sister blog TV Squad rounded up the top ten most covetable items including Hurley's winning lottery ticket and Camaro and the 'Lost' finale script signed by the executive producers.

There has been some controversy over certain auction items and whether or not they were used on screen. The Prop Blog has been covering this topic extensively breaking down some of the terminology. A screen-used prop is one that appears and is seen clearly on screen. These props are most valuable. Other props can be "production-made" which means that they were made for the show but didn't necessarily appear on screen. These props are less valuable. Most valuable are the "hero props" which are scene specific. Other types of props include back-ups, stunt props and double props. If you are just buying for your own enjoyment you don't really need to know the difference, except to make sure you don't pay too much, but for later resale these distinctions are key.
