The most famous gift watch

In New York for $ 120 thousand price was sold on the auction a golden wristwatch. This fantastic price was given to the watch presented to the 35th United States’ president John Kennedy by the most well-known actress of the cinema history – Marilyn Monroe.

Marilyn has given this watch to Kennedy on his 45th birthday, May 29, 1962. On the watch, that was primarily reckoned to cost around $ 40 - 60 thousands, was engraved the message: “Jack, always with love, Marilyn. May 29, 1962”. That was the day that Marilyn famously sang on the Madison Square Garden stage in front of all president’s family “Happy Birthday, Mister President”.

“The wristwatch was purchased by American collector, who wished to remain anonymous” has told to the press the director Alexander Autographs, Bill Panagopoulos.

The press has been speculating for a few years during this period about the romantic relationship between the Hollywood star and the president. It is believed that Monroe has passed the present via president’s assistant Kenneth O’Donnell.

According to Bill Panagopoulos when the president saw the watch he has told his assistant to get rid off it. That is confirmed by the note sold with the watch.

Apart from the note the buyer got also a piece of paper put into the watch case. That paper had a poem written on it, entitled “From the bottom of my heart I ask you on your birthday”.
There are such verses as:
“Let golden sunshine flood the sky, And let me love, Or let me die!”

Monroe's career was cut short when she died in Los Angeles from an overdose of sleeping pills on Aug. 5, 1962, two months after the Kennedy Birthday. Her sudden death at her home in California seemed only to enhance the mystique surrounding her image.

On November 22, 1963, John Kennedy was shot to death in Dallas. It maybe just a coincidence, but their death was linked by press for a long period of time. This watch might open some matters of this whole unknown matter.
