Les enchères s’envolent avec la Breitling de 007

Lorsque Sean Connery, alias James Bond, porte une Breitling et que cette dernière se retrouve dans une salle de vente chez Christie’s, les compteurs s’affolent.

Cette «  Top Time Thunderball » de 1962, exemplaire unique réalisé par Breitling pour le film, avait pourtant d’abord été acquise, sans même son bracelet, dans un vide-grenier pour la somme de... 30 euros ! 

Dans le quatrième volet de l’espion intitulé « Opération tonnerre », en 1965, c’est le célèbre « Q » qui invente et fournit les gadgets de James Bond. L’un d’eux est ce garde-temps équipé d’un (faux) compteur Geiger, afin, nous dit le scénario, de détecter les radiations sur l’île de Nassau.

C’est la première fois que 007 fait des infidélités à sa Rolex Submariner et la seule autre montre que Sean Connery porte dans son rôle de James Bond.

Christie’s avait estimé que les enchères de la « Top Time » atteindraient un peu plus de 70.000 euros. C’était sans compter l’effet 007 : la vielle dame âgée d’un demi-siècle est partie à 120.000 euros.
