APR57 has been a renowned appraisal and auction house for some time now. With over 100 years of combined experience within their staff, that’s no surprise. Their current collection—comprised of fine jewelry and iconic objet d’art—lives up to their reputation. Find several highlights below, and be sure to peruse their full catalog!
No jewelry sale is complete without at least a few Tiffany & Co. pieces, and APR57 delivers in kind. The brand itself requires little introduction: founded in 1837, the company quickly scaled the ranks of the elite. Known primarily for the Art Nouveau design of Louis Comfort Tiffany, Tiffany & Co.’s jewelry has been worn by Audrey Hepburn, Eleanor Roosevelt, Charlize Theron, Kit Harington, Billy Porter, Lupita Nyong’o, and beyond. They are an icon of fashionable society: now is your chance to grow your own collection.
APR57 features a Tiffany & Co. 1930s Art Deco platinum and diamond brooch, with an appraisal value of over $200,000. The brooch boasts approximately 103 diamonds, 11 emerald-cut and 92 round-brilliant. Set in a stunning platinum, this 6-carat beauty is sure to draw attention. Additionally, APR57 offers a 1917 Tiffany & Co wristwatch in solid yellow gold. This classic is crafted from the aforementioned yellow gold, and features a diamond bezel and twelve surrounding diamond stones. Its beige face holds black painted Roman numerals and complementary blue hands. Engraved with the original maker’s mark, it’s an essential piece.
APR57 offers more than Tiffany’s, however. Fabergé also makes an appearance, with a beautiful pair of cufflinks. The FABERGÉ Incredible Solid Yellow Gold Cufflinks with Diamonds & Enamel are a superb example of the company’s work. Made from yellow gold, enameled in a translucent red over hatched engine turning, each cufflink holds 54 rose-cut diamonds. Appraised at $60,000, they are a pair worthy of royal sleeves: considering Fabergé’s clients have included Tzars, Queens, and Empresses, that is unsurprising.
A Patek Philippe pocket watch is featured, as well. Encased in 18k yellow gold, this timeless pocket watch holds 8J rubies in its movement, and boasts eight adjustments. Its face presents black painted Arabic numerals and index markers alongside matching black hands. The craftsman—whose admirers have included Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Diana, Albert Einstein, Pablo Picasso, Marie Curie, and John F. Kennedy—signed the piece with his maker’s mark.
A traveling staple is here, as well, with the Louis Vuitton Alzer 80. An objet d’art of a near-two-century legacy, this vintage trunk is made from the iconic LV canvas, featuring Lozine trim, brass-toned corners, reliable trunk closure, and a rounded leather handle. With globetrotter clients including Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza, Princess Lobanov de Rostov, Eugénie de Montijo, Ernest Hemingway, and Marc Jacobs, an opportunity to own this trunk is not to be missed.
