Elvis Presley’s Timeless Generosity Lives On Through His Watch

We are honored to offer a truly iconic timepiece with a direct connection to the King of Rock and Roll himself, Elvis Presley. This exceptional gold-plated Mathey-Tissot wristwatch is more than a collectible. It’s a rare and personal artifact, originally designed and customized for Elvis in 1969 by his longtime Memphis jeweler and close friend, Harry Levitch.

This heirloom-quality watch is part of a small batch personally commissioned by Elvis and gifted to those closest to him—family members, bandmates, staff, and trusted companions. These watches were symbolic “all-access” credentials at Elvis’ concerts and tours, offered only to members of his inner circle.

The 34mm Swiss-made timepiece features a champagne dial, automatic movement, day-date functionality, and a matching gold-plated ‘Duchess’ bracelet. Its bezel is engraved with raised lettering that spells “Elvis Presley,” accented by four stars—a striking design that echoes the King’s unmistakable presence.

Included with the watch is a Certificate of Authenticity from the Elvis Presley Museum, signed by renowned Elvis archivist Jimmy Velvet. The certificate affirms its place in the Velvet Collection and highlights Presley’s tradition of gifting these watches to those he held dear.

Provenance:

• Bonhams & Butterfield: Elvis Presley Memorabilia, October 1995 – Lot 1387

This extraordinary timepiece is offered at $21,500, with 100% of the proceeds directly benefiting the Brian LaViolette Foundation—a nonprofit committed to empowering students through scholarships that honor character, community service, and perseverance.

This watch is a meaningful way to own a piece of music history while helping shape the future of deserving students.
