Its honorary president Christie’sEarl of Snowdon said of the auction: “One of my earliest childhood memories is obsessively playing with a metal Aston Martin DB5, a gift my parents had brought home from the premiere of ‘Goldfinger’.
From that moment on, I was fascinated by every new James Bond film, the special effects and stunts, the Bond watches and the incredible style. British legend James Bond had a great influence on my life. Christie’s is honored to once again partner with EON Productions for this official two-part charity auction to celebrate Bond’s 60th anniversary.
The live and online auctions will hopefully raise record sums for all the wonderful charities chosen.”
