Schumacher Ruthenium watches sell for $8.4m at Geneva auction

Five luxury watches once owned by Michael Schumacher have sold for approximately $8.4 million at a Christie's auction in Geneva. The F.P. Journe timepieces, all from the exclusive Ruthenium collection and carrying matching edition numbers of 92 out of 99, fetched around $2 million two and a half years ago, when they were sold in May 2024 reportedly on behalf of Schumacher's family.

The latest sale was a resale by a subsequent owner. Two of the watches alone sold for almost $1.9 million each, according to reports cited in the source.

Schumacher, now 57, has remained out of public view since his serious skiing accident in December 2013. His family continues to protect his privacy, amid longstanding speculation about the costs of his medical care.
