Elvis Presley Omega Constellation Calendar Watch














<PREVIOUS PAGE     NEXT PAGE>

Sold for  $52,000

A rare, black-dialed Omega Constellation Calendar produced around 1960, once belonging to Elvis Presley, was auctioned by Antiquorum in New York on June 12, 2012. The watch has an automatic chronometer movement with center seconds and date and a steel case with rose-gold plating. Antiquorum put the pre-sale estimate at $10,000 to $20,000, but bids for the coveted piece of rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia quickly escalated to a final hammer price of $52,500. The winning bidder received, in addition to the watch, a letter of attestation from Charlie Hodge, the watch’s onetime owner, a longtime friend and confidant of Presley and a member of the so-called “Memphis Mafia.”
