Marlon Brando's Apocalypse Now Rolex GMT-Master Watch
Seen on the wrist of Marlon Brando as Colonel Kurtz in Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 masterpiece Apocalypse Now, this Rolex GMT-Master is far more than a simple movie prop. The watch, worn on-screen, remained in the actor's possession until 1995, when it was gifted to his daughter. At some point Brando himself engraved the back with "M. Brando", leaving no doubt as to where the watch came from. The watch was sold to the current owner in 2019 for $1.95 million and is expected to bring a similarly impressive amount when it crosses the auction block at Christie's on November 6th.
