James Bond’s watch could sell for £90,000 at auction on 30 October 2018

A Rolex Submariner worn by 007 could fetch a whopping £90,000 at Fellows Auctioneers in Birmingham. The magnificent timepiece - worn by Timothy Dalton’s stunt double during the British spy thriller, "Licence to Kill", in 1989 – is estimated at £60,000 - £90,000 in Fellows’ upcoming Watch Sale on Tuesday 30th October*. The stunning timepiece, reference 5513, will be on view in Fellows’ London and Birmingham offices leading up to the auction.

*Please note the Rolex Submariner was worn onscreen by Timothy Dalton’s stunt double, not Timothy Dalton himself.

The Rolex featured in a memorable scene during a car chase where 007 is driving a tanker truck in Mexico. The watch comes with photos of the crew on set in Mexico, as well as paperwork from Rolex, a book detailing the making of the movie, a soundtrack album, and a certificate of authenticity from EON Productions (the film company). A section of the Rolex was damaged during the stunt, and paperwork included with the item states that Rolex fixed the watch free of charge after the incident.

"Licence to Kill" was Timothy Dalton’s final appearance as 007 in the franchise, before Pierce Brosnan took over as the famous British spy. Shot almost entirely in Mexico and the US, Licence to Kill puts 007 up against a fierce drug lord.

Laura Bishop, Watch Manager at Fellows Auctioneers, said: “This is one of the rarest and most fascinating watches we have ever had up for auction at Fellows. It’s amazing to think this watch was on screen in a James Bond movie. The more I read about the provenance of the watch, and how it featured in such a classic Bond scene, the more excited I get about selling it.”

Bishop added: “We’ve sold a historic Panerai dating back to the Second World War this year, as well as a watch containing the world’s oldest rum, so this Rolex is the icing on the cake for our watch auctions. We are sure it will entice both lovers of Rolex and James Bond fans.”

The watch will be on view at the following times:
23rd October 2018 12pm - 7pm | London
27th October 2018 11am - 4pm | Birmingham
29th October 2018 10am - 4pm | Birmingham
30th October 2018 8.30am - 11am | Birmingham

"It was nearly two o'clock. Bond put a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers sunglasses that would identify him to his contact, then walked southwest through the colorful and narrow cobblestoned streets to the intersection of Rue du Chêne and Rue de l'Étuve. There, surrounded by camera-snapping tourists, was the famous statue of the urinating little boy known as Manneken-Pis. Although not the original statue (which was subject to vandalism and was removed), the current idol is an exact replica and is perhaps the most well known symbol of Brussels. Bond didn't know what its origins were, but he knew that it dated from the early 1400s and was perhaps the effigy of a patriotic Belgian lad who sprinkled a hated Spanish sentry who had passed beneath his window. Another story was that he had saved the Town Hall from a small fire by extinguishing it using only means available. Today, "Little Julian," as he is called, was dressed in a strange red cloak with a little fur collar. Louis XV of France began the tradition of presenting colorful costumes to the little boy and since then he has acquired hundred of outfits."

Bond girl: Della Churchill Leiter
007 Film: Licence to Kill (1989)
Actress: Priscilla Barnes

Bond connection: Della Churchill was CIA agent Felix Leiter's fiancée and wife. She is about to marry Felix Leiter, when Felix learns that the drug lord Franz Sanchez is in Florida, and with the help of Bond, pursues him. They return victorious, and the wedding commences. She kisses Bond before cutting the cake, but later unintentionally references Bond's earlier short-lived marriage to Tracy Bond, unsettling him a tad. Little does she know that this will be her last encounter with Bond, or with her new husband.

Later, they enter their room to find Sanchez' henchmen pointing guns at them. Dario, their leader, separates the two by force, and a fight breaks out. Felix is dragged away and taken to a marine research laboratory, where Sanchez lowers him into a shark tank, but Dario and the other men remain at the house and kill Della. Dario strongly implies that he raped her before killing her, telling Felix, "We gave her a nice honeymoooooon!"

A visibly shaken Bond later finds Della, dead, on her bed, and soon swears to wreak havoc on the men responsible for her death and Felix's maiming, informing M at one point that Della's death is one of the primary catalysts for his desire for revenge as Della was unaware of the risks of Felix's life even if Felix was aware of the possibility that an enemy might attack him.

Bond girl: Lupe Lamora

007 Film: Licence to Kill (1989)

Actress: Talisa Soto

Bond connection: Lupe Lamora is the kept woman of Latin American drug lord Franz Sanchez.

Sanchez flies to Florida, where he catches Lupe in bed with another man. Sanchez orders the man's heart cut out, and he personally whips Lamora with a manta ray tail for her infidelity. Sanchez and Lamora leave and attempt to escape, drawing the attention of the DEA, who call upon Felix Leiter and James Bond to help apprehend Sanchez.

Later, she is shown to be living in the Wavekrest, without Sanchez. Milton Krest uses this opportunity to harass her, much to her chagrin. At night, Bond approaches her with a knife, demanding to know the whereabouts of Sanchez. She protests that she does not know as he never told her. Bond sees his friend, Sharkey, dead outside, and leaves Lamora behind to take revenge on the henchmen who killed him.

Bond next encounters Lamora in the Isthmus Casino. Again, he asks to be taken to Sanchez, and this time she obliges. She turns up, along with Sanchez, at his hotel, while Bond poses as a guest/potential member of Sanchez's cartel. She expresses her concern and love for James in front of a jealous Pam Bouvier and Q. Later she helps Bond surreptitiously escape, in return for helping her escape from Sanchez as well.

Finally, Bond encounters her again at the party at the end of the movie, after he has defeated Sanchez. She thanks him again for his help, and they kiss. This catches the attention of Bouvier, who sadly walks down to the pool alone. Bond, faced with a decision between two girls, ultimately chooses Bouvier over Lamora, instead setting her up with the President of Isthmus City.

She is notable in that while she shares a close affiliation with the film's main villain, Sanchez, she is an ally to Bond.

After Bond steals $5 million from Krest, he sneaks into Leiter's office to find he had set a meeting at a bar in Bimini, she was disappointed in seeing Bond but soon trusts him. When Dario soon comes into the bar, she asks Bond if he has a gun, after seeing his Walther PPK, she shows him a shotgun which she soon uses to blast a hole in a wall before escaping on Bond's boat. She is soon shot, but is luckily unharmed because she wore a Kevlar vest. She agrees to help Bond track down Sanchez, playing herself off as Bond's executive secretary while he infiltrates Sanchez's operations. At the same time, she meets Colonel Heller to set up a deal granting him immunity if Sanchez is arrested.
