A Rare Chopard L.U.C Esprit de Fleurier Leads Upcoming Fortuna Auction Event

The upcoming Fortuna Auction sale highlights a Chopard L.U.C Esprit de Fleurier Tourbillon 18-karat white gold watch. To celebrate its 150^th anniversary, luxury watch manufacturer Chopard introduced its L.U.C Esprit de Fleurier series. The wristwatch design pays tribute to the horological excellence of founder Louis-Ulysse Chopard. This limited-edition series consists of only 15 pieces and revives the Fleurisanne engraving technique. Notable lots in the upcoming auction also include a pair of antique Tiffany & Co. Cypriot hoop earrings. Tiffany’s Cypriot collection drew inspiration from the ancient jewels found on Cyprus in 1865. Tiffany was the authorized jeweler reproducing these pieces for the Curium collection at the Metropolitan Museum. These Cypriot jewelry pieces were an instant hit among collectors due to their rarity and exquisite replication.

Another highlight is a Cartier Pasha wristwatch by designer Gérald Genta. The 18-karat gold wristwatch was among Cartier’s first water-resistant designs. The watch is particularly valued for its chain-attached crown cap, which has never undergone modifications despite design changes. Featured among the available jewelry lots is a 5.43-carat fancy intense orange-pink diamond ring. Brilliant-cut yellow diamonds surround the central marquise-cut diamond. Luxury jewelry items from Bulgari, Cartier, Palmiero, Harry Winston, and René Boivin are on offer as well. Collectors can also explore timepieces from Rolex, Patek Philippe, Vacheron & Constantin, and Piaget. To explore the entire catalog and register to bid online, visit Fortuna Auction.
