Timepieces bring further depth. A Patek Philippe Twenty~4 offers refined practicality, designed for a life that moves seamlessly from day to evening with effortless poise.
A Cartier Tank Basculante reveals the ingenuity of Art Deco engineering, while a Rolex Day-Date remains the ultimate expression of enduring authority at the wrist. The Day-Date was already known as the "President's Watch," worn by United States Presidents Dwight Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson, yet this particular configuration in yellow gold with a glossy black gilt dial lends a touch of menace to its majesty.
Let us also begin where all great jewellery stories begin… with diamonds.
A striking modern Diamond Quatrefoil Necklace commands immediate attention—nearly 17.00 carats arranged in the distinctive four-leaf clover motif that has symbolised good fortune for centuries. It is bold without being brash, the sort of jewel that transforms even the simplest black dress into an occasion.
Beyond this, the collection balances heritage and modernity with effortless elegance. A Bvlgari B.zero1 bangle in white gold exudes sculptural Italian confidence, while the Divas’ Dream necklace captures unmistakable Roman glamour.
There is a Boucheron Quatre Radiant ring, whose interplay of textures offers a masterclass in contemporary Parisian design. An 18ct white gold Moval diamond ring and wedding band suite, GIA-certified and seldom encountered on the secondary market, stands proudly among the jewellery highlights.
Lot 108. 18ct White Gold, Modern, 16.75ct Diamond Quatrefoil Link Necklace
