Piaget Kanthara Brings $602,500 at Christie’s New York Sale
This stunning Piaget Kanthara brought a multiple of its pre-sale estimate at Christie’s December 14 sale of fine collector timepieces in New York. Estimated at $200,000 to $300,000, lot 47 realized $602,500 when the hammer came down. Though nearly 400 lots followed, none exceeded the Piaget’s sale price, making it the top piece of the evening. Christie’s sale notes indicate that the Kanthara was produced in very small numbers and in different versions: all diamonds, diamonds with rubies, diamonds with sapphires and diamonds with emeralds.Piaget flew a pair of diamond and emerald set Kanthara wristwatches from Geneva to New York for the glamorous 1996 opening of their first North American boutique on Fifth Avenue.The Kanthara originally was manufactured with diamonds totaling more than 100 carats.See complete sale results at the official Christie’s Web site.

My close interest with Louis Vuitton started with the Tambour Diver watch, a beautiful piece that really needs to be on more wrists (including my own). Though its high price and utter rarity on the used market hasn't made it part of my collection yet. Though if I really wanted, I could get it from Louis Vuitton's website for $
