From the great undefeated heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano comes this remarkable 18K gold anddiamond-studded wristwatch that was presented to the great boxer by the members of the War TwoClub of Brockton Mass. where Marciano grew up. Marciano was the World Heavyweight Champion fromSeptember 23 1952 to April 27 1956 and is the only champion to hold the heavyweight title and go untiedand undefeated throughout his career. He defended his title six times. There is no precise dating of whenthe watch was presented to Marciano but it is known to have been prior to the clubs closing in the mid-1960s. A square face of the gold watch features more than 100 real diamonds elegantly arranged in threerectangles of diminishing dimensions. On the back of the face is the inscription To Our Champ RockyMarciano Friends War 2. The watch gives every appearance of being in working order and in essentiallyas-issued and problem-free condition including the delicate linked watch band that also is seeminglywithout issue. The watch is accompanied by a letter of provenance from Rocky Marcianos brother PeteMarciano.
