When Eisenhower died in 1969, he left the Rolex timepiece to his Army colleague, White House staff member, and longtime friend, Sgt John Moaney.

DeGeer Amyx, former FBI and well-known presidential memorabilia collector, kept the timepiece until the present. The watch quickly became the crown jewel of DeGeer Amyx&#8217;s large presidential memorabilia collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DeGeer Amyx, now 76, can no longer maintain the size of his presidential memorabilia collection and has decided to auction it off. The auction will take place on September 17 in Boston, Massachusetts. The auction will include several items owned by President Eisenhower, including Eisenhower\u2019s Second World War brown leather flight jacket, a pair of binoculars, and an Eisenhower painting. However, Eisenhower\u2019s gold Rolex will be the prize piece of the auction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bobby Livingston, executive vice president of RR Auction, estimates the watch will sell for $1 million dollars. No matter the price, the watch\u2019s appearance has made a big stir in the Rolex collectors\u2019 community. According to Livingston, many &#8220;experts think it is the most important Rolex watch ever made.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Dwight Eisenhower&#8217;s 18k gold Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust Chronometer on a Jubilee bracelet, given to him by Rolex for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5036,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[724],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[2286],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>President Eisenhower\u2019s 18k Gold Rolex Goes Up for Auction<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"President Dwight Eisenhower&#039;s 18k gold Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust Chronometer on a Jubilee bracelet, given to him by Rolex for his heroic leadership role in the planning and implementation of D-Day, is going up for auction.
