Welcome the Autumn season with this alluring auction. On September 30, Hess Fine Auctions brings you an amazing sale full of glittering gems, wonderful watches and fine art. The sale boasts over 200 lots, with something for every collector. Here are six lots not to miss:
Here is a rare Van Cleef & Arpels Fairy diamond-encrusted retrograde 18k white gold watch from the limited edition Poetic collection. The watch originally retailed for $129,000. If blue is not your color, the consignor also owns a Rouge/ Red model that is considered even more rare that can be purchased privately.
For men, there are two especially unique Patek Philippe models to choose from. The first is the Patek Philippe Guillermin Mollet Mid Century Modern watch. It is extremely rare, with only three to five models known to exist. The 18k rose gold watch was made in France by Guillermin Mollet for Philippe. It has mild wear to case, and the dial has some toning. The manual (hand winding) movement is running well.
The second one is a Patek Philippe Yard 18k Gold Ref 130 Chronograph vintage mens watch. Made around 1944, this amazing Raymond Yard co-signed original dial Patek Philippe 130J has a very scarce Breguet dial. It also boasts the celebrated 13 ligne caliber movement.
Sparkle with this Cartier emerald and diamond platinum ring. It features a deep green 1.22ct natural oval-cut emerald that is haloed in 2.73ctw of fine VS (or better) clarity, G-I color diamonds. Purchased in the 1970s, this comes with original Cartier receipt, paperwork and presentation box, as shown.
An important collectors item is this rare $50 gold coin. Graded by NGC as uncirculated, this 1915S octagonal gold coin is rarely seen in this condition and very few of these exist with such amazing detail.
Sam Newton is one of the most prominent Black artists in America today. Following his studies in the 1960s, Newton painted alongside the famed Florida Highwaymen. Though he doesn’t consider himself a member of their collective, his work is just as spectacular. Here is a beautiful Florida sunset scene that was purchased over 35 years ago and has not been in the hands of a dealer.
