Sharon Tate's 14K Yellow Gold Necklace Watch W/Key From Her Mother Retrieved From Jay Sebring's Car After the Manson Murders (From The Estate of Richard Wilson) - This stunning solid 14K yellow gold necklace watch is a true piece of Hollywood history. It was gifted to the lovely Sharon Tate who was tragically murdered by the Manson family on August 9, 1969, during the summer crime spree led by crazed cult leader Charles Manson. This watch displays the love a mother had for her child as it is well over 100 years old, and was clearly meant to be an heirloom that Sharon would have been able to pass down to her own children. On January 20, 1968, Tate married film director Roman Polanski and Sharon became pregnant. At the time of her senseless murder, Sharon was eight and a half months pregnant with her and Polanski's son. Tate was only 26 years old. Her death was one of the most tragic and outrageous murders in Hollywood history. Sharon was known to be one of Hollywood's quickest rising stars, as her beauty was like no others. This watch was purchased by a private collector from the estate of Richard Wilson, and has remained in a private collection ever since. Richard Wilson owned "Norma's Jeans Celebrity Memorabilia," and is widely known for the sale of celebrity owned assets. This piece has never been offered at auction, and is truly a piece of Sharon Tate history. The watch is a depiction of her beauty, and the loving relationship she had with her mother, which is what should be remembered by all. According to the original add for the sale of this piece in the Norma's Jeans memorabilia catalog, this watch was recovered from Jay Sebring's car after the Manson murders. The watch is missing the crystal, but comes with a key. THE WATCH IS WORKING WHEN YOU WIND IT WITH THE KEY! The watch measures: 32.5mm in diameter and weighs: 19.2 grams. The watch comes with a print out of the item description from the Norma's Jeans memorabilia catalog from when it was originally offered for sale over 25 years ago.
