This rare and iconic model is identical to the one owned by Ian Fleming, the renowned author of the James Bond series. Fleming used his Royal Quiet Deluxe to write the first James Bond novel and many others. His personal gold-plated typewriter is celebrated as one of the most remarkable pieces ever auctioned by Christie’s in its 250-year history.

Interesting details: A book titled "The Man with the Golden Typewriter" showcases a photograph of Fleming's typewriter on the cover, alongside letters discussing how he acquired his prized possession. Additionally, "Going Once: 250 Years of Culture, Taste, and Collecting" at Christie’s highlights Fleming’s gold typewriter as one of the most fascinating items ever sold by the auction house.

This unique collectible will add character and sophistication to any home or office and is a must-have for any James Bond enthusiast. The typewriter is in good working condition, though some areas show wear on the gold plating, consistent with its age and history.
