Compared with “The Godfather,” “Apocalypse Now,” a work of Marlon Brando, may be unfamiliar. But anyone who has seen “Apocalypse Now” should not ignore the Rolex GMT watch worn on Marlon Brando’s wrist.

Once, this Rolex watch existed only in images and pictures, and its whereabouts were a mystery. Until this year, when it was finally found! When Phillips Auction announced that this Rolex was found and would be auctioned, it quickly attracted great attention! No wonder the treasure lost for many years was suddenly found, coupled with the star effect of Rolex and Marlon Brando; everyone speculated before the auction how much “sky-high price” it could be sold for.

The result has been revealed. Although it is not as expensive as the Paul Newman Daytona, it is still a “sky-high price” for a steel watch without a bezel! On December 10, 2019, at a watch auction called “GAME CHANGERS” held by Phillips and Bacs & Russo in New York, Marlon Brando’s Rolex GMT watch was finally sold for US$1,952,000, which is equivalent to about RMB 14 million!

This auction will present timepieces owned by essential figures regarded as “changers” in different fields. At the same time, it will also present iconic collection models from top watch brands that have changed the watchmaking industry and watch collections in other periods. In addition, some rare timepieces with various advantages, such as provenance, design, preservation conditions, and rarity, will also appear in this auction. Although Marlon Brando’s Rolex is not the most expensive, it is eye-catching. After the bid was opened at $250,000, the watch was successfully traded for nearly $2 million in almost 20 minutes.

The Rolex GMT-Master, Model 1675, worn by Marlon Brando in “Apocalypse Now.” In particular, it has no bezel. It is understood that Brando deliberately removed the original red and blue two-color bezel during the movie’s filming for fear that the watch would be too eye-catching. In 1995, Marlon Brando gave this watch as a gift to his daughter Petra Brando Fischer, and in 2003, Petra gave it to her husband on their wedding night. The husband collected it as a family heirloom and never wore it. 2017, after Paul Newman’s Daytona was sold for a sky-high price, Fischer realized he also had a particular watch. This legendary Rolex, once worn by the legendary actor, was re-launched this year. Franck Muller replica.

Another unique feature of the watch is its case back. The plain stainless steel case back is engraved with the words “M. Brando.” This was engraved by Marlon Brando himself with a simple engraving pen, so it looks “rough.” Until this watch was exposed, people did not know that the watch Marlon Brando wore in “Apocalypse Now” had his hand-engraved signature on the back of the case.

With a leather strap, this Rolex GMT-Master model 1675 watch is precisely the same as the one in “Apocalypse Now.” It is well preserved, retaining Rolex’s chamfers, curves, and sharp edges 50 years ago. It is equipped with the watch’s original dial, hands, case, crystal, and crown. The beige luminous hour markers and hands are uniform and beautiful.
