INT. AUCTION HOUSE – BOND STREET / OCTOPUSSY, 1983
‘Let’s see how badly he wants it.’
To mark the sixtieth anniversary of Commander Bond, Christie’s is holding two rather lush auctions of 007 lots made up of some delicious and often rare items, one-offs, luxuries and Bond curios.
Spread over two auctions, Christie’s Sixty Years of Bond events mark a traditional marriage of Bond and the long-standing auction house. With both a LIVE AUCTION on September 28th 2022 and an ONLINE AUCTION that extends from September 16 to Bond’s actual anniversary on October 5 2022, the collections up for sale include Bond’s suits, villain curios (who does not want Primo’s eyeball from No Time to Die!), unique stills, powerhouse cars, costumes, clapperboards, posters, original villain blueprints, bowties, Tom Ford suits, Moonraker costume pieces, original music sheets, screen-used props. a five-night stay at Goldeneye, commemorative timepieces, villain’s costumes, production pieces, original Ian Fleming novels, and a unique Bollinger champagne experience.
With six items from the last Bond bullet No Time to Die, all six of the 007s so far will be commemorated with the full cast list of lots taking in each and every era of Bond’s sixty year movie reign. Sixty items in total will be benefitting forty-five different charities across the multi platform event.
The LIVE AUCTION will feature twenty-five items – including an Aston Martin DB5 headliner from No Time to Die and the only stunt car up for sale.
The ONLINE AUCTION will take bids from September 15 2022 until James Bond Day and features thirty-five lots from all twenty-five of the EON Bond bullets so far.
