Phillips Watches to Sell Marlon Brando’s 1675 GMT-Master from ‘Apocalypse Now’
The discovery story, as it is reported on NYTimes.com, states that Marlon Brando had gifted this particular 1675 of his, in 1995, to “Petra Brando Fischer, the daughter of his longtime assistant Caroline Barrett, whom he had adopted years before”.
NYTimes further reports that Marlon Brando had given the watch to her as a graduation present. Eight years on, Ms. Brando Fischer, in turn, gifted the 1675 to her, then husband-to-be, Russel Fischer as a wedding gift.
Now, Phillips Watches is set to list the timepiece in their catalog at the 2019 New York sale, later this year.
