Tom Brady auctioned luxury watches and items from his playing career at Sotheby's this week. His watch collection alone fetched $4.6 million.

To qualify, a grand complication must have an astronomical function, such as a perpetual calendar with moon phases, a minute repeater and a chronograph function. Brady’s model is one of just 100 Grand Complication Patek Philippe watches that have surfaced since 1874 – a rare find for any collector.
