Eight of Michael Schumacher's watches are currently up for sale at Christie's. The sale, organized by the former Formula 1 driver's family, includes a watch given to the German by former Ferrari CEO and ex-FIA president Jean Todt, also a close family friend.

The watch in question features 18-karat white gold, a red dial and depictions of the Ferrari logo, Schumacher's racing helmet and the number seven in honor of his seven world championship titles. Christie's estimates it could fetch close to €2 million when it goes under the hammer.

Watches aside, Christie's watch specialist Eli Fayon said the reasons for the sale were not disclosed.

"We were approached by the family to offer these pieces at auction, but the motivation is not something that they shared with us," he said.

Schumacher has not been seen in public since December 29, 2013, when he suffered a serious skiing accident in the French Alps. His medical condition has been kept private ever since.
