This watch was manufactured by Rolex in 1972 specifically for the film "Live and Let Die." Estimated price for a unique pattern is of $ 200-450 000.
In the eighth film about the famous special agent Roger Moore wore this watch, so the case back is decorated with the words "Roger Moore 007". Of course, like all accessories of James Bond, these watches have been upgraded by Dr. Q. Thus, unusual Rolex has:
- A rotating circular saw as a bezel that Bond used to be freed before his girlfriend will be eaten by hungry sharks;
- And even the magnetic field generator, with which Bond stopped flying bullets in it and even take off the clothes with Miss Caruso - "It's only magnetism, darling." Happy owner of these watches will open one of the secrets of the famous British agent. In fact, the role of the magnetic field generator is performed by the fine wire threaded through a hole in the watch case back: with its help James Bond stripped Miss Caruso.
For shooting in bondiane Rolex has especially completely redesigned the watch: the mechanism is removed and the required devices according to the scenario are installed.
In addition to the legendary watch that lot is included a couple of sketches from the designer-creator Syd Cain. Given the uniqueness of this watch, the price of 200-450 000 dollars is justified.
