Sotheby’s Luxury Week showcases the auction house’s most opulent objects.
The Estrela de Fura is even rarer. Not only is it one of the largest rubies ever discovered, but it’s also the most valuable to come to market. In 2022, the stone was mined sustainably in Mozambique before it was cut and polished in Bangkok. The Estrela de Fura, which is “unparalleled in color and brightness,” could sell for more than $30 million, according to Sotheby’s.Two of Paul Newman’s Rolex Daytona watches are also heading to auction. Both are estimated to fetch $500,000 to $1 million.
The first, a 16520 Zenith Daytona, was given to Newman in 1995 after he participated in the Rolex-sponsored 24 Hours of Daytona Race. The watch, which was produced in 1993, is inscribed with Newman’s winning title, “Rolex Motorsports Man of the Year 1995.” The second of Newman’s watches going up for sale is a 2006 white gold Daytona, which was gifted to the actor by his wife, Joanne Woodward. Featuring the inscription “Drive Very Slowly Joanne,” Newman wore this Rolex during his final laps at Lime Rock Park in 2008, just weeks before his passing.Among the rarest handbags being sold at Luxury Week is the Hermès silver metallic chèvre Birkin. Made in 2004, the bag is lined with black chèvre leather and features platinum hardware.
