Nicolas Cage Patek Philippe Reference 3970


...Patek Philippe Coolness...


Academy Award Winner For Best Actor

Nicolas Cage is an American actor, director and producer who has appeared in over 60 films including Fast Times At Ridgemont High, Rumble Fish, The Cotton Club, Birdy, Face Off, Adaptation, City Of Angels, Matchsick Men, National Treasure and The Rock. Nicolas Cage won an academy award in 1995 for Best Actor in the movie Leaving Las Vegas. He is the nephew of director, Francis Ford Coppola, and ironically he was born Nicolas Coppola on January 7, 1964, but changed his name at an early age.




I remember one night in San Francisco, many years ago, noticing Nicolas Cage in Tower Records down near Fisherman's Wharf. He was shopping for CDs and like myself, was seriously stocking-up on CDs. My favorite Nicolas Cage movie was the 1990 classic, Wild At Heart.

For some reason, Nicolas Cage kind of reminds me of Charlie Sheen, in the sense they are kind of both bad-boys of Hollywood. And if you are not aware, Charlie Sheen is a huge Patek Philippe fanatic of the highest order! By the way, they costarred together in the 1993 movie, Deadfall. In the photos below we get a close-up of Nicolas Cage's Patek Philippe 3970, which is the same model that musician John Mayer also wears.


Nicolas Cage has a great voice and you can check him out in these Letterman interviews.

Clark Gable: Patek Philippe Reference 1526


Academy Award Winner For Best Actor

...Patek Philippe Super-Coolness...

Clark Gable
Triple Date Moonphase
Reference 1526

In the two photos below we see Movie superstar, Clark Gable sporting his Patek Philippe Reference 1526 Moonphase. As far as I know, these photos are the first photographic evidence to be shared publicly that confirms Clark Gable wore a complicated Patek Philippe.

I wish I could find and publish more images like these, but often times, trying to find photos like these is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.


Clark Gable is probably best known for his role as Rhett Butler in the 1939 Civil War Epic Saga film Gone With the Wind. The American Film Institute, in 1999 named Clark Gable seventh among the greatest male stars of all time.


I included a photo of a similar model below that shows what Clark Gable's Patek Philippe model looks like.

This 34mm beauty has a movement made in 1942 and the case was completed in 1948. It sold for $2,773,721 at Chistie's Auction House on November 16, 2009.

Clark Gable Timeless Style Icon

Clark Gable was renowned for being very stylish and and equally masculine, so it makes perfect sense he would wear this beautiful, complicated Patek Philippe watch.


Clark Gable is pictured below in his ruby-red 1955 Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing, and the second photo shows his timeless Mercedes today.
