Apollo 17 in 1972 was the eleventh and final mission of NASA’s Apollo program, led by commander Gene Cernan, one of two astronauts to have set foot on the lunar surface after touching down. His EVA-1 cuff checklist containing a comprehensive guide for the entire extravehicular activity, offering preparation procedures, simplified maps, and task lists, reached $125,000 USD at auction.
This checklist was exposed to the lunar environment for approximately 7 hours and 12 minutes and remnants of lunar dust can still be seen in the form of streaks. You can see EVA-1 on Cernan’s wrist in both film footage and photographic stills taken during the mission, most clearly in images of him saluting the American flag. More information here.
