August Jewels & Watches

Launched during the Baselworld show in 2015, the Ulysse Nardin Anchor Tourbillon watch was produced in a limited edition of eight series, with 18 pieces per series. The Tourbillon watch was the first to feature Ulysse Nardin’s proprietary constant force escapement system. After eight years of research and development, the patented movement— custom-made by the brand— offers the Tourbillon eight days of power reserve. Owing to its futuristic technology and craftsmanship, the model was awarded the Tourbillon Watch Prize at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève. The upcoming sale, presented by Fortuna Auction, features a Ulysse Nardin Anchor Tourbillon watch. The 18-karat white gold watch has a carbon fiber dial and black alligator strap. Also highlighted is a Piguet Millenary Starlit watch. This luxury ladies’ watch features an oval form inspired by the Roman Coliseum’s architecture.

A Cartier Trinity diamond ring is also highlighted in this event. Designed by Louis Cartier in 1924 at the request of the French artist, novelist, poet, and filmmaker Jean Cocteau, the Trinity collection features three interlocking bands of white, yellow, and rose gold. These bands symbolize enduring friendship, loyalty, and true love. The 18-karat gold bands are accented with round brilliant-cut diamonds. The sale also includes jewelry pieces from Chanel, Bulgari, and David Webb. Visit Bidsquare for the complete listings.
