And I’m sure that is exactly what would have happened, were it not for one man.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Man. \u003c\/strong\u003eIn 1984, Norman Seeff took a series of photos that would come to define the Steve Job look. From the turtleneck to the iconic thumb-on-chin pose. Seeff captured Jobs so completely that TIME magazine saw fit to use those same photographs for its commemorative cover following his death. And on his wrist throughout the shoot? His trusty Seiko 6431-6030.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Appeal. \u003c\/strong\u003eIf you’re familiar with Steve Job’s work, which realistically we all are, you’ll immediately understand what drew him to choose this unassuming Seiko. Minimalist, reliable and uncomplicated. I can easily picture him rejecting the unnecessary complexity of mechanical watches, preferring the “it just works” permanence of quartz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Provenance. \u003c\/strong\u003eIn 2016, the very 6431-6030 Jobs had worn for almost a decade was auctioned off for a staggering $42,500 - making it the most expensive Seiko quartz watch ever sold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Condition:\u003c\/strong\u003e In good condition overall.
