UP FOR AUCTION: MARILYN MONROE’S BLANCPAIN WATCH

There’s no business like show business. Even after five and a half decades since her death, Marilyn Monroe still steals the spotlight.

 

In November 2016, Julien’s Auctions will be putting up a collection of personal items that belonged to the  Hollywood darling for auction. Never-before-seen objects will be at the auction and they include handwritten notes and jewellery pieces that have been pre-loved by the actress.The items were offered for sale by the estate of Lee Strasberg who mentored stars such as James Dean and Al Pacino.

 

The highlight of the upcoming auction is certainly her prized diamond Blancpain timepiece. Featuring 73 sparkling diamonds, the vintage cocktail watch has a sleek and feminine design — perfect for the dainty. It is estimated to fetch up to $80,000 at the auction.
