The Global Bond Day Christie's sale was held to mark the 50th anniversary of the first superspy movie, "Dr No", and former James Bond icon Sir Roger Moore was on hand to help sell off several collectibles and props, reported Contactmusic.

The highlight of the sale was a 2008 Aston Martin, driven by Craig in "Quantum of Solace", which sold for USD 386,000, while the swimwear he donned in one famous Bond scene earned USD 71,120.

Veteran actress Judi Dench, who plays M in the spy franchise, helped boost the price of the trunks by declaring, "They're unwashed."

One bidder paid USD 251,600 for a titanium Omega Seamaster Professional Planet Ocean watch worn by the actor in the upcoming film "Skyfall", while a Tom Ford suit he donned fetched USD 74,960.

 

Other items which went under the hammer included an orchestral score for the new theme song 'Skyfall', signed on the cover by singer Adele and co-writer Paul Epworth.
