Public Auction

My 1st visit to a PA was at Goodwood Park Hotel on a Sunday morning, 31 Jan 2010.


The viewing starts from 9:30am and auction will begin at 12:30pm on the same day. A total of 250 lot meaning 250 items were released for bidding.

New and pre-owned watches including Rolex Rose Daytona, GMT, Oyster, Patel Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Franck Muller, JLC, Roger Dubis, Zenith, Bell & Ross, Blancpain, Piaget, AP, Corum, IWC, Chopard, Breitling, Panerai, Chanel J12, Omega, Hermes, Bvlgari, Tag Heuer, Longines, Baume & Mercier, LV, Pocket Watches & etc ...

A Fine collection of Jewelleries set with Diamonds, Jade, Ruby, Blue Sapphire, Aquamarine, Opal, Emerald, Pearl, Cat's Eye, Corals & etc ... and also unset white and fancy colour diamonds above one carat, flawless to VVS clarity).

Other Collectibles, Antique Clocks, Horn, Jade, Ivory, Gemstone, Sandal Wood, Bronze carvings, Porcelain etc.

Sad to say, 1 out of 250 lot enticed me. It was a 18k Bvlgari Yellow Gold, B zero1 ring, weight as reported was 12.72gm with original box. The bid started at $800 with my pledge at $900 and closing bid was $1,100 when the fall of the hammer hits the table.

The event was an eye-opener and buyers especially the women went all the way for fine jewelleries. The men of course, had their eye laid on fine watches, including my Hubby who was fascinated on a few pieces. Our bidding ended around 3:30pm leaving 130 lot which was still going on for bidding.
