We are all guilty of going on a spending binge right around Christmas time, but for a few of us, it is more about living the ultra-luxurious life and also making a wise investment on the way.
Vogue fashion features director Sarah Harris recently admitted that she has her eye set on a ‘Rene Boivin’s art deco platinum and diamond chevaliere ring’ this Christmas. Sold by the London-based Hancocks, the ring can be yours at £28,500 price tag.
However, if you are a more of a vintage watch person and want to add a collector’s piece to your Christmas collection, then check out “The Asprey”, which recently fetched $3,879,834 at an auction at Sotheby’s, making it the most expensive watch sold.
“The Asprey”, a legendary #luxury vintage Patek Philippe #watch, will go on the auction block next week in Geneva, where it could fetch $2 million to $4 million. Time is money!
