Footnotes
Originally launched in 1985, Sir Michael Caine was an early fan of the Breitling Aerospace which was a common sight upon his wrist in the 1990s and early 2000s. Seen as early as 1992 on set of the movie Blue Ice, to celebrating his 65th birthday in 1998 at his restaurant The Canteen in Chelsea, to a photoshoot with the Sunday Times in 2018, his Breitling Aerospace has been one of the most worn watches within Sir Michael's collection.
In 2008 Sir Michael was, quite literally, cemented into history signing his name and placing his hand and foot prints into the 'Forecourt of the Stars' outside the legendary Graumans Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Upon his wrist and a part of this moment in history was the current lot, his Breitling Aerospace.
