Unique donations from Daniel Craig, Sam Mendes, Michael G. Wilson, Barbara Broccoli, Jesper Christensen and Sam Smith will also be available.

The live auction will be led by a collector’s edition Aston Martin DB10, engineered exclusively for James Bond Spectre, as well as an Omega Seamaster 300 watch worn by Daniel Craig in the movie. Meanwhile, the online auction will feature the laptop used by Ben Whishaw (as Q) and a pair of Tom Ford ‘Snowdon’ sunglasses worn by Craig (as Bond).

Spectre will be released on Digital HD, Blu-ray and DVD in the U.S. on Feb. 9 and in the U.K. on Feb. 22.

The invitation-only live auction will be held on Feb. 18 at Christie’s King Street and offer 10 lots, accessible via both Internet and telephone bids. Meanwhile, the online-only sale will offer 14 lots and will be open for bidding Feb. 16-23 at Christies.com/SpectreOnline.
