Q’s Favourite Watch
Bought for: $38
Sold at: $160,175
In England, one gentleman was roaming a car trunk sale, which is like a flea market, I’m assuming, and he came across a Breitling wrist watch for $38. He purchased it, and did some research at home. Turns out it was worn by Sean Connery as James Bond in the film Thunderball. Taking it to Christies Auction house, it was determined that it was an even more valuable piece at it was the first one modified by Q Branch to include a Geiger counter in it.
The watch ended up fetching over $160K from one interested buyer.
