Marilyn Monroe is indisputable the personification of glamour and to most people one of the most beautiful personalities ever immortalised on celluloid. She managed to conquer Hollywood and the hearts of the most powerful men of her era. Among her possessions were two diamond set watches, one of those has been in the spotlight since its re-discovery in 2016.

The Blancpain-Rayville platinum cocktail watch presented for auction at Julien’s of Los Angeles in 2016 sold for 225’000$ back to Blancpain.
