Phillips Jewelry Auction to Feature Rolex Pearlmaster and Cartier Jewelry

The 1992 Rolex Pearlmaster got its name from its five-link ornamental bracelet. This version of the luxury Rolex Lady Datejust features a distinct dial design and signature gem setting. The upcoming Phillips jewelry auction presents an 18-karat white gold Pearlmaster Datejust wristwatch by Rolex. The diamond and sapphire-set watch includes an automatic movement and a hidden crown clasp. 

Also showcased is an ancient coin and gold necklace from the Bulgari Monete collection. Nicola Bulgari introduced the Monete collection more than 50 years ago. This contemporary style features coins from the ancient Greek era through the 20^th century. The available 18-karat yellow, rose, and white gold necklace with Roman Empire coins shows the combination of Roman glory and modern vogue. Jewelry pieces from Cartier designers such as Aldo Cipullo and Bill Smith are also on offer. One highlight is a diamond and 18-karat gold Maillon necklace by Cartier. The necklace’s links, known as maillon in French, express a geometric rhythm and give the Maillon collection its name. 

Other jewelry lots on offer include a pair of opal, Demantoid garnet, and gold earrings by New York-based jewelry brand Taffin. Founded by James Taffin de Givenchy, Taffin is famous for featuring vibrant colored gemstones and unusual substances like ceramic and rubber. The sale also offers jewelry by Harry Winston, Graff, Francisco Costa and Fred Leighton, Jean Parmentier, Tiffany & Co., and Van Cleef & Arpels.
