GWS Auctions, as part of their โArtefacts of Hollywood & Musicโ showcase, have listed a very special Rolex Datejust once owned by Marlon Brando after his 1973 Oscar win for The Godfather.
Slated for auction on May 11 and with a starting bid of just US$1,000, the Rolex is engraved on the case back with personal touches to the Hollywood legend including โ Vitoโsโ and โMBโ โ both references to the actorโs iconic character โVito Corleoneโ and Brando himself respectively.
Accompanying the watch is a letter of authenticity, which confirms that Brando later gifted the watch to Oscar-nominated costume designer Patricia Norris in 1976 after telling her that the timepiece would โfit her well.โ
