An ornate design on the top lid of the round gold case containing the Rolex shows two doves "kissing." In the bottom of the case, there is a round piece of paper printed with a poem from Marilyn to her alleged lover. It's titled "A heartfelt plea on your birthday." The poem reads, "Let lovers breathe their sighs/And roses bloom and music sound/Let passion burn on lips and eyes/And pleasures merry world go round/Let golden sunshine flood the sky/ AND LET ME LOVE/ OR LET ME DIE!" Panagopulos said he believed the watch was given by Monroe to Kennedy's closest aide, Kenneth O'Donnell, who was to pass it along to the president.
