This is Elvis Presley's personal Baume & Mercier 14kt gold watch that was given to Elvis by his father Vernon for his birthday on January 8, 1969. Vernon had an inscription put in on the back that reads: "TO E.P. , FROM DADDY, 1-08-69." Many years later, Elvis gave the watch to his cousin Vester Presley after Vester complained to him that his watch wasn't working. Vester worked for Elvis full time starting in 1957 as the chief of security for the world famous gates at Graceland. The watch is in beautiful condition and is accompanied by a letter from Vester Presley on official TCB stationery. Also included are photographs of Elvis wearing the same watch, or one exactly like it. Estimate: $9,000 - $11,000.
