IMPORTANT JEWELS & WATCHES
Last night’s auction of Important Jewels & Watches built on the success of our March auction with competitive bidding in the room, on the telephones and online resulting in a sale total of $1,343,127, the highest since 2019.
Items of quality and allure attracted particularly strong competition, with bidders vying for dazzling jewels of all variety. Prominent results were achieved for jewels by Graff, Bulgari and Cartier, complemented by exceptional results for watches by A. Lange & Söhne, Patek Philippe and Rolex.
