To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Twilight, Catawiki experts imagined how much the saga’s most iconic objects would fetch at auction today
From Bella’s rusted red truck to Edward’s grand piano, these are the items fans would fight over in a 2025 auction — glitter not included
Amsterdam, 30 September - Twenty years ago, a girl moved to Forks, Washington, and changed pop culture forever–mostly by sitting in silence, biting her lip, and making millions of us believe a vampire boyfriend was peak romance. Twilight turns 20 this month, and whether you loved it, hated it, or ironically tweeted about it in 2016, there’s no denying: it lives rent-free in our collective memory. Just last week, author Stephenie Meyer revealed she has ideas for a sequel, stirring fresh excitement around the saga. To celebrate this cultural benchmark, Catawiki, the leading online marketplace for special objects, asked its experts: what if Twilight’s most iconic items went to auction today?
Some would fetch small fortunes. Others, not so much (sorry, microscope from the lab scene). Here’s what would spark a bidding war in 2025–and probably reignite the Team Edward vs Team Jacob debate all over again according to our experts:
1. Bella Swan’s 1963 Chevrolet C-10 Pickup, Red, estimated value: €18.000.
The ultimate symbol of Bella's independence: equal parts rusty, reliable, and solid metal. “It’s not just a vehicle; it’s emotional infrastructure,” commented Franco Vigorito, car expert at Catawiki. “C-10 models from the early 1960s are known for their solid build and utilitarian charm, and values have steadily increased for well-preserved examples.”
2. Edward Cullen’s Steinway & Sons Grand Piano, estimated value: €40,000-50,000
Scene-stealing and serenade-ready, Edward’s piano is where he composed Bella’s Lullaby, and played it like only a 109-year-old sensitive vampire could. While the specific brand and model have shifted between scenes, the instrument has always remained a grand piano—most memorably, a Steinway in Breaking Dawn, when Edward plays alongside Bella and Renésme. “This is a dream piece for both film fans and piano collectors,” said Simone Sedda, musical instruments expert. “When we talk about Steinway grand pianos in very good condition, the pricing typically starts around €40,000 but can go up well into the €200,000-€300,000 range.”
