LUXURY WATCHES → Rare James Bond Rolex Chronograph for Sale

5 th October 2010

An extraordinary Rolex pre-Daytona chronograph worn by George Lazenby as James Bond in 1969′sOn Her Majesty’s Secret Service” is being offered for sale in Miami. It’s extremely rare for an actual Bond movie watch, let alone a rare Rolex model, to come onto the market.

The stainless steel timepiece, ref # 6238, has been written about on many 007 fan sites and Rolex blogs. The Rolex was originally purchased by Bond filmmakers EON productions on October 23, 1968 for use by the underrated Lazenby in the film, and was later sold off among other props. It last surfaced at Christie’sFilm and Entertainment sale in London in 2003, where it went for $40,000. Recently acquired byMiami’s Matthew Bain Inc., it’s now being offered at an undisclosed price that could easily reach $250,000 or more.
