John Jacob Astor, an American businessman and one of the wealthiest men of his time, perished on the Titanic in 1912 at the age of 47. His body was recovered a week later with a 14-karat gold pocket watch among his belongings. The watch, engraved with the initials JJA, recently sold for 1.36 million euros at an auction in the United Kingdom. The winning bid came from an American buyer at Henry Aldridge & Son, far exceeding the estimated value of 120-180 thousand euros. This amount surpasses the previous record set in 2013 by another item from the Titanic, a violin sold for nearly 1.3 million euros.
