Four Golden Globe awards won by Robin Williams are going up for auction next month, along with the late actor's collection of movie props, watches, toys and art.

'We're incredibly excited about the watch that Robin Williams wore during "Dead Poets Society",' Nina del Rio, Sotheby's vice chairman, told Reuters Television at a public exhibition ahead of the sale.

The gold-plated Hamilton wristwatch, engraved on the back after filming in 1988, is expected to fetch up to $2,000. 

The items, including works by modern artists Banksy and Shephard Fairey, were collected by Williams and his second wife Marsha Garces Williams over 20 years. 

Williams died by suicide in 2014 at age 63.

The auction includes the actor's Golden Globe statuettes for 'Good Morning Vietnam' (with an estimate of $15,000-20,000) 'Mrs. Doubtfire,' 'Mork & Mindy' and 'The Fisher King.' 

Sotheby's expects the 300-item sale to raise about $3 million.

A portion of the money will go to organizations the couple supported including Human Rights Watch and the Wounded Warrior project.

'We're expecting and hoping that so many fans of Robin Williams will participate in this sale. There's really a price point for everyone,' del Rio said.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
