On March 17, 2007, Mike Modano scored his 503rd goal in his NHL career and became the all-time greatest scorer, surpassing the record set by Joe Mullen in 1.062 career games.
And that´s certainly a one-time event, which in return demands a special gift:
"Modano passing the time
On the plane back to Dallas, Mr. Modano could count the minutes until he was home on the watch given to him by his teammates during the recent Mike Modano Tribute Night at American Airlines Center.
In honor of Mike's record as the all-time leading American scorer, team captain Brenden Morrow spearheaded the effort by Stars players to give Mike a special gift. At the University Park store deBoulle, jeweler Denis Boulle pulled out what they thought was perfect: a titanium Girard-Perregaux chronograph with a black crocodile strap.
"When we saw the red, white and blue dial of the Girard-Perregaux, we knew we'd found the watch that matched Mike's breaking the record for an American in scoring," says Brenden.
The back of the watch is engraved "All Time American Scoring Leader."
The moving ceremony in honour of Mike Modano, the TV broadcast of the "MIKE MODANO TRIBUTE NIGHT" took place on November 21, 2007 (after the Stars defeating the Ducks 
) and can be accessed as a video stream here:
