DateJust 18K from early '50's belonging to the former President of Brasil



Unfortunately, I couldn't get hallmarks or any other stamps on the back. It belong to Juscelino Kubitschek (AKA JK) when he was the President of Brasil from 1956-1961. He died in a car accident while wearing this in 1976 outside of Rio.

There's question of if the accident was really an accident.

He was instrumental in moving the Capitol of Brasil from Rio to Brasilia.

I wanted to get more information on the reference of the watch as its provenance is unquestionably on the mark. Specifically if it is 18k YG. I know it's not the best picture.

Thanks
