One of the highlights of our past Important Jewels auction, this stunning Tiffany & Co. Art Deco Diamond and Emerald Bracelet, the property of an esteemed Arkansas lady, flew past its offered estimate of $35,000–$50,000 by achieving $68,750.
The Cartier Crash is one of the most iconic watches made by the legendary jeweler. The original Crash was made by Cartier craftsmen in the UK after seeing a colleague’s watch that was badly melted in a car accident. The resulting Crash reminded many of Salvador Dali’s surrealist watches in one of his most well known works, “The Persistance of Memory,” and a legend was born that is associated with the “Swinging London” of the 1960s.
The Important Watches collection is led by an exceedingly rare and fresh-to-market Rolex Daytona “Paul Newman” Ref. 6239, known amongst watch enthusiasts as the most desirable and valuable vintage sport watches. It will be offered for an estimate of $150,000–$250,000 at auction. Famously worn by the actor and race car enthusiast, the watch has become just as legendary as the man who it is associated with.
The Important Jewels collection is led by a spectacular pair of Harry Winston Diamond Earrings, offered for an estimate of $300,000–$500,000. These exquisite vintage jewels from 1957 feature pear-shaped and marquise diamonds set with minimal metal.
