A gold watch screen icon Marilyn Monroe gave to US President John F Kennedy has been auctioned for $120,000. The watch, inscribed with the words ‘Jack with love as always Marilyn May 29th 1962′, was sold at Alexander Auctions in Connecticut to an anonymous American collector.
The Rolex came up with a poem Monroe wrote the Kennedy titled ‘A Heartfelt Plea On Your Birthday’, which sound like: “Let lovers breathe their sighs/And roses bloom and music sound/Let passion burn on lips and eyes/And pleasures merry world go round/Let golden sunshine flood the sky/And let me love/Or Let me die!”
Monroe died of a drugs overdose in August 1962 and Kennedy was assassinated in November 1963.
