Two Marilyn Monroe Watches Up for Sale at Julien's Auctions

More than 50 years after her tragic death, legendary starlet Marilyn Monroe still has legions of fans and admirers. Thanks to the upcoming sale by Julien's Auctions, you may have a chance to bid on a wide array of Monroe's personal artifacts, including two of her watches.

The sale will take place over a three-day period from November 17 to 19, with the items on display in Los Angeles. The watches are set to hit the auction block on November 18.



Culled from multiple sources, including the Collection of David Gainsborough-Roberts, The Estate of Lee Strasberg and Déjà vu Property From The Life and Career of Marilyn Monroe, this may be the most comprehensive sale of Marilyn artifacts ever.

Included in the sale are notes scribbled on paper, letters, makeup cases, lipsticks, costumes, handbags, furs, the original sequined dress she wore when she sang “Happy Birthday Mr. President” to John F. Kennedy, jewelry and several timepieces.

While Monroe did not own glitzy jewelry, she did possess several watches, including a diamond cocktail watch by Blancpain (with movement stamped Blancpain and Rayville Watch Co.) The Art Deco piece, to which diamonds have been added, is believed to be gift from her third husband, Arthur Miller. The watch is expected to sell in the range of $80,000 and $100,000.



A second Art Deco watch possessed by Monroe is also up for sale. The watch houses a movement made by Marvin and features a gold-tone metal bracelet with diamonds that were added later. It is expected to sell in the range of $15,000 to $20,000.
