As a way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Goldfinger, the first James Bond film to feature the now iconic Aston Martin DB5, the creators recently commissioned a 24-carat gold-plated replica that will soon go on the auction block.
The third scale (1:3) model is expected to sell for £40,000-£60,000 ($70,000-$106,000) and will be available for bidding online at www.christies.com/goldfinger from September 8-17.
Also included in the sale will be a unique Goldfinger Seamaster Aqua Terra wristwatch created by Omega to celebrate the anniversary of the film. It is estimated to fetch between £8,000-£12,000 ($14,000-$21,000). Let's not forget the first-edition book Goldfinger by Ian Fleming (estimate: £1,000-£2,000 / $1,700-$3,500).
The auction coincides with the release of the Goldfinger Limited Edition gold SteelBook Blu-ray on September 22nd.
