The watch remained among Brando\u2019s prized possessions until 1995 when he gave it to his adopted daughter Petra Brando Fischer upon her graduation from Brown University. Fischer recalled the famous actor telling her \u201cThis watch is like a tank. You can do anything you want to it and it will keep on going.
