Marlon Brando fans will move heaven and earth to get a piece of their idol. What better way to get a memento from the actor than by getting Marlon Brando's Vacheron Constantin Watch, which is set to be auctioned off by Antiquorum in New York.The Marlon Brando Vacheron Constantin Watch is really a very simple watch and the only factor adding to its net value is the fact that it as once owned and used by Marlon Brando.The timepiece has a gold case and a black leather strap. The guilloche engraved white dial has a wave-like design which is not really that exciting, but is said to be unique since you no longer see this design these days. The watch has hour indexes that are also in gold but nothing really special on the face of the watch.Marlon Brando's Vacheron Constantin Watch was given to him in 1954 by no less than Hollywood Royalty Zsa Zsa Gabor herself, in time for the theater release of the movie "On The Waterfront". The said movie won Best Picture in the Academy Awards. It also won for Marlon Brando a Best Actor Award.The back of the case shows Zsa Zsa Gabor's message to Marlon Brando, in her own handwriting. While this watch was considered a luxury back during that time, it only has an estimated price of up to $8.000.
