<p>Many valuable articles were auctioned during the recent Spring auctions and though every single object was unique in its own way, four items certainly stood out and impressed the bidders the most, thus achieving jaw-dropping hammer prices. Check out the latest roundup of auction lots that made history and the interesting stories associated with each of them.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Flawless Fancy</h3>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><em>3 rings hold collectors in spell</em></h4>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><a href="https://www.christies.com/lot/an-exceptional-coloured-diamond-and-diamond-ring-6429392" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="500" height="632" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/DIAMONDIF_rgb.jpg" alt="spring auctions" class="wp-image-76667" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/DIAMONDIF_rgb.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/DIAMONDIF_rgb-222x280.jpg 222w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/DIAMONDIF_rgb-200x253.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></figure></div>


<p>A trio of flawless pear-shaped coloured diamonds fetched a combined total of HK$132 million (US$17 million) at Christie’s Magnificent Jewels Spring Auction. Dazzling at the centre of three exquisite rings, they captivated the audience and ignited fervent bidding for more than 15 minutes.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>The sale was led by a breathtaking 4.83-carat fancy vivid blue internally flawless diamond ring, for which an anonymous bidder paid an astonishing US$8.84 million. This extraordinary natural blue diamond is considered a symbol of wisdom, truth and devotion, and its exceptional rarity and vivid blue hue place it in a league of its own. The internally flawless designation emphasises the stone’s remarkable clarity and further enhanced its allure to excited bidders.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Besides this triumvirate of spellbinding coloured diamonds, Vickie Sek, Chairman of Jewellery at Christie’s Asia Pacific, was thrilled by the auction’s overall success. “Our Magnificent Jewels sale received an excellent response from collectors for the diverse selection of exquisite colourless and coloured diamonds and gemstones presented, with almost half of these lots selling above their high estimates,” she said.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Dragon High</h3>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><em>Qianlong moonflask shines at auction</em></h4>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><a href="https://www.christies.com/lot/a-fine-and-extremely-rare-doucai-dragon-moonflask-6426581" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="768" height="617" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Lot_2903_White_p_rgb.jpg" alt="spring auctions" class="wp-image-76668" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Lot_2903_White_p_rgb.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Lot_2903_White_p_rgb-349x280.jpg 349w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Lot_2903_White_p_rgb-200x161.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></a></figure></div>


<p>An extremely rare Qianlong moonflask was the highlight of Christie’s ‘The Imperial Palette – Three Qianlong Treasures’ auction held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Bidders were impressed by this extraordinary Chinese craftsmanship such that the final sale price topped HK$108 million (US$13.8 million).</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Marco Almeida, Head of Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art at Christie’s Asia Pacific, expressed his enthusiasm for the fine porcelain collectible: “This magnificent and very rare Qianlong doucai moonflask embodies the superb artistry and craftsmanship of the Qianlong period [1736-1795]. The significant historical and cultural importance, rarity and outstanding quality of this work of art make it a true gem for collectors and enthusiasts alike.”</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>The circular body of the imposing flask is finely pencilled and enamelled on each side in iron-red, yellow, aubergine and shades of green. A green five-clawed dragon emerges from waves to confront an ascending dragon in iron-red amid cloud-scrolls and flames. The large rising dragon symbolises the Qianlong Emperor, while the smaller serpent represents the heir apparent.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Emperor’s Gift</h3>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><em>Puyi wristwatch clocks world record</em></h4>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><a href="https://www.phillips.com/detail/patek-philippe/HK080623/3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="768" height="512" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/emperor1_copy_p_rgb.jpg" alt="highest bid" class="wp-image-76669" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/emperor1_copy_p_rgb.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/emperor1_copy_p_rgb-420x280.jpg 420w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/emperor1_copy_p_rgb-200x133.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></a></figure></div>


<p>A watch of huge historical significance sparked frenzied bidding at a recent Phillips auction in Hong Kong. The Patek Philippe timepiece is the former property of the last Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Aisin-Gioro Puyi, and sold for HK$48.85 million (US$6.26 million).</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>The sale of this rare Patek in platinum with moon phases, triple-date calendar and silvered dial had been much anticipated in the watch-buying community. Part of The Imperial Patek Philippe Sale, the wristwatch was subject to a bidding war by at least six collectors and was claimed after a considerable mark-up of HK$9 million on the final nod. The price is a record for the Ref. 69 Quiantieme Lune, as well as the highest achieved by a watch previously owned by an emperor.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>The simple, clean silhouette and large unsigned crown express the aesthetics of Bauhaus and understated functionality, while the rose-gold ring, silvered dial and enamel Arabic numerals in a ‘roulette’ configuration underscore a supreme elegance. Purchased in 1937, the watch was kept in its original untouched condition and has a rich patina consistent with its age.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Le Mans Magic</h3>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><em>Awesome Aston accelerates off auction block</em></h4>


<div class="wp-block-image">

<p>A 2007 Aston Martin racing car has sold for 2.23 million euros (US$2.4 million) at an auction held by RM Sotheby’s. The DBR9 GT1 was one of 24 sports competition cars that lined up for the Le Mans Centenary sale.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>First purchased by Gigawave Motorsport team founder Henry Barczynski, the car is thought to be one of just 18 DBR9 chassis constructed by Prodrive between 2005 and 2008. It subsequently had just two other owners, while among the professionals who have sat in the driving seat are Stefan Mücke, Darren Turner, Peter Kox and Tomáš Enge.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>The Aston Martin notched up third-place finishes in both the 2008 Silverstone Tourist Trophy and 2008 24 Hours of Spa. Further success was achieved at the 2010 24 Hours of Le Mans, where it was third in the GT1 class and 22nd overall. The following year it secured four podium finishes in the FIA GT1 World Championship, winning in Beijing.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>The successful bidder also received three spare sets of wheels, as well as the original Pectel/Pi electronics and all relevant operating and computer software materials.</p>

Legendary Aston Martin DB5 Goldfinger unveiled as new 007 film debuts

<p>British motoring marque Aston Martin has a storied legacy of crafting high-performance sports cars that perfectly blend high-octane thrills with the ultimate in luxury. Now, the next chapter of the brand’s story is about to unfold in the form of its all-new Aston Martin DBX, the first-ever SUV for the 106-year-old automotive company that will soon hit Hong Kong’s roads.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-51382" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/The-new-Aston-Martin-DBX.jpg" alt="The new Aston Martin DBX" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/The-new-Aston-Martin-DBX.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/The-new-Aston-Martin-DBX-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/The-new-Aston-Martin-DBX-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/The-new-Aston-Martin-DBX-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/The-new-Aston-Martin-DBX-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/The-new-Aston-Martin-DBX-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/The-new-Aston-Martin-DBX-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></p>
<p>Setting a new benchmark for a luxury SUV-cum-sports car, the Aston Martin DBX has been painstakingly crafted from lightweight bonded aluminium, with much emphasis placed on maximising its interior capacity to afford spaciousness for both front and rear occupants.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-51384" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Aston-Martin-DBX-interiors.jpg" alt="Aston Martin DBX interiors" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Aston-Martin-DBX-interiors.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Aston-Martin-DBX-interiors-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Aston-Martin-DBX-interiors-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Aston-Martin-DBX-interiors-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Aston-Martin-DBX-interiors-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Aston-Martin-DBX-interiors-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Aston-Martin-DBX-interiors-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></p>
<p>Under its sleek exterior lies a 4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine – as previously in the luxury automaker’s DB11 and Vantage designs – which churns out over 540bHp and develops 700NM of torque. In layman’s terms, this not only means the stunning new Aston Martin DBX can rev from 0 to 100kmph in just 4.5 seconds flat, but it can also develop a top speed of a staggering 291kmph.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-51383" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Aston-Martin-DBX-boasts-a-lightweight-design.jpg" alt="Aston Martin DBX boasts a lightweight design" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Aston-Martin-DBX-boasts-a-lightweight-design.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Aston-Martin-DBX-boasts-a-lightweight-design-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Aston-Martin-DBX-boasts-a-lightweight-design-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Aston-Martin-DBX-boasts-a-lightweight-design-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Aston-Martin-DBX-boasts-a-lightweight-design-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Aston-Martin-DBX-boasts-a-lightweight-design-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Aston-Martin-DBX-boasts-a-lightweight-design-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></p>
<p>As Aston Martin’s first full-size five-seater, the DBX is the epitome of versatility, offering enhanced on-road and off-road driving experiences through its all-wheel-drive system without sacrificing an iota of luxury. Take, for instance, the sophisticated adaptive air suspension, dampeners and eARC, which deliver maximum ride comfort for its lucky passengers, or the 632 litres of boot space for efficient, easy transportation of any sundry luggage.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-51381" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/The-gorgeous-Aston-Martin-DBX.jpg" alt="The gorgeous Aston Martin DBX" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/The-gorgeous-Aston-Martin-DBX.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/The-gorgeous-Aston-Martin-DBX-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/The-gorgeous-Aston-Martin-DBX-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/The-gorgeous-Aston-Martin-DBX-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/The-gorgeous-Aston-Martin-DBX-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/The-gorgeous-Aston-Martin-DBX-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/The-gorgeous-Aston-Martin-DBX-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></p>
<p>There’s even the option to customise this attention-grabbing vehicle to suit each user’s individual needs. The Pet package, for example, sees the car fitted with a portable washer to cleanse muddy paws after a walk, or the Snow package that sees boot warmers inserted to ensure your ski trip is that much more comfortable. Whatever option you choose, you can rest assured that the Aston Martin DBX will provide you and your loved ones with all the luxury and comfort you could wish for, all packaged in a stunning, pristinely engineered motor.</p>

All-round Luxury: Aston Martin hosts VIP Experience Night at Happy Valley showroom

<p>Earlier this month, luxury yacht purveyor <strong>Sunseeker</strong> joined forces with Brit automaker <strong>Aston Martin</strong> and yacht dealer Nextwave to host a truly special showcase at Sai Kung&#8217;s Marina Cove. The weekend-long event saw an exclusive list of VIPs invited to explore all the latest models from their high-end inventories and view their sumptuous interiors first-hand.</p>
<p>
<div id="gallery-1054" class="ngg-gallery">[{"id" : "45813","image" : "https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/gallery/0523ss52/Sunseeker-Manhattan-52-bedroom.jpg","caption" : "Sunseeker Manhattan 52 bedroom"},{"id" : "45816","image" : "https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/gallery/0523ss52/Sunseeker-Manhattan-52-living-area.jpg","caption" : "Sunseeker Manhattan 52 living area"},{"id" : "45818","image" : "https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/gallery/0523ss52/Sunseeker-Manhattan-52.jpg","caption" : "Sunseeker Manhattan 52"}]</div></p>
<p>The first of the three Sunseeker luxury yachts on display was the <strong>Manhattan 52</strong>. Winner of the &#8216;Flybridges up to 55ft&#8217; category at the 2017 Motor Boat Awards, this sleek flybridge motoryacht boasts a maximum speed of 31 knots and a range of 230 nautical miles per trip. Its 56.6ft length has further been optimised to house a capacious living and entertainment space, while its main deck and upper gallery offer even more venues to relax and socialise.</p>
<p>
<div id="gallery-1055" class="ngg-gallery">[{"id" : "45821","image" : "https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/gallery/0523ss76/Sunseeker-76-Yacht-front-deck.jpg","caption" : "Sunseeker 76 Yacht front deck"},{"id" : "45824","image" : "https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/gallery/0523ss76/Sunseeker-76-Yacht-interiors.jpg","caption" : "Sunseeker 76 Yacht interiors"},{"id" : "45826","image" : "https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/gallery/0523ss76/Sunseeker-76-Yacht.jpg","caption" : "Sunseeker 76 Yacht"}]</div></p>
<p>Then there&#8217;s the stunning new <strong>76 Yacht</strong>, built to harmonise performance, elegance and spaciousness. Boasting the latest V-hull design, the main deck affords near 360-degree views of your chosen surroundings. Personalisation is the name of the game here. The flybridge layout can be customised to allow for a spa tub, extra sunbeds or a space to store your jet skis. The cockpit area, meanwhile, can be adapted to include a cocktail bar, with the stern available for the addition of extra fold-out seating, a barbeque grill or even a rain shower.</p>
<p>
<div id="gallery-1056" class="ngg-gallery">[{"id" : "45829","image" : "https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/gallery/0523ss86/Sunseeker-86-Yacht-owners-stateroom.jpg","caption" : "Sunseeker 86 Yacht owner's stateroom"},{"id" : "45832","image" : "https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/gallery/0523ss86/Sunseeker-86-Yacht-spacious-interiors.jpg","caption" : "Sunseeker 86 Yacht spacious interiors"},{"id" : "45834","image" : "https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/gallery/0523ss86/Sunseeker-86-Yacht.jpg","caption" : "Sunseeker 86 Yacht"}]</div></p>
<p>Finally, the pièce de résistance came in the form of the Sunseeker <strong>86 Yacht</strong>, crafted for the most discerning maritime wayfarers in mind. Measuring 86&#8217;3-ft in length, this exclusive vessel features an expansive range of up to 1,300 nautical miles per trip and can accomodate up to 8 guests and 4 crew. Luxury is the byword here, with the sumptuous main saloon hand-furnished with the finest interior decor and state-of-the-art technology. Below deck, the owner&#8217;s stateroom and guest bedrooms also offer extravagance and comfort in equal measure. Whether you&#8217;re in the mood for open-air marine exhilaration or a more sedately intimate gathering with loved ones, the 86 Yacht truly exemplifies high-end living at its finest.</p>

<p>Car enthusiasts in attendance, meanwhile, were treated to an up-close viewing of luxury motoring marque Aston Martin&#8217;s latest <strong>DBS Superleggera</strong>. This sporty supercar&#8217;s twin-turbo 5.2-litre V12 pumps out a massive 715bHp that translates to a top speed of almost 340kmph. When combined with its carbon fibre body, this luxury auto offers super lightweight yet aggressively powerful drive experience. What&#8217;s more, lucky buyers can customise the roomy interiors to their exact requirements. From start to finish, the new DBS Superleggera truly embodies the best of masterful motor engineering.</p>

<p>A car with as chequered a past as the 1961 Aston Martin DB4GT MP209 Zagato Grand Touring Two-Seat Coupe would undoubtedly be the Holy Grail for any true auto-enthusiast. Unsurprisingly then, it proved one of the biggest draws at the recently-concluded Bonhams Goodwood Festival of Speed Sale, going for HK$102 million after a protracted bidding war.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-39602 size-full" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Aston-Martin-DB4GT-sells-for-HK102-million.jpg" alt="1961 Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato sells for HK$102 million" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Aston-Martin-DB4GT-sells-for-HK102-million.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Aston-Martin-DB4GT-sells-for-HK102-million-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Aston-Martin-DB4GT-sells-for-HK102-million-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Aston-Martin-DB4GT-sells-for-HK102-million-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Aston-Martin-DB4GT-sells-for-HK102-million-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Aston-Martin-DB4GT-sells-for-HK102-million-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Aston-Martin-DB4GT-sells-for-HK102-million-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></p>
<p>It’s an unsurprising valuation for such a unique car. Not only is it one of just 20 Aston Martin DB4GT Zagatos ever produced, it’s also one of only three Zagatos with the ‘MP209’ specification – a testimony to its lightness – that the marque ever built. Add to that its distinctive UK road-registration number plate – 2 VEV – and it’s probably the most distinctive competition coupe to have ever come out of the highly-competitive Essex Racing Stable.</p>

<p>This quasi-works team car – the chassis of which proved to be the prototype for later racing cars – had a mixed record on the track, however. While it recorded a spectacular win at the 1961 British Grand Prix, it overheated and malfunctioned at the Le Mans 24-Hours Race later that year. Eventually, the Aston Marton DB4GT Zagato became a concours regular, much admired for its spectacular history and groundbreaking design.</p>

<p>Luxury automaker Aston Martin and haute horology label Tag Heuer hosted a joint cocktail party at Aston Martin’s Happy Valley showroom last week.

<p>Aston Martin showcased a spectacular white Vantage, a chic convertible DB11 Volante and the striking all-new DB11 AMR. Tag Heuer, meanwhile, put the spotlight on three stunning specimens of its acclaimed Carrera collection, including a model designed in partnership with its British carmaker partner.

<p>The new super GT – Aston Martin DBS Superleggera – brings together two iconic names that are inherently intertwined with Aston Martin’s heritage. With DBS, Aston Martin revives an iconic nameplate that first appeared in 1967, while with the Superleggera technology, the carmaker pays homage to the historic lightweight construction know-how of the famous Italian coachbuilders Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera.</p>

<p>From its lightweight carbon-fibre body and innovative aerodynamic concepts to its 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 engine and class-leading in-gear acceleration, Aston Martin DBS Superleggera packs a punch both in looks and performance. Especially, the engine is at the heart of DBS Superleggera’s excellence. Set low and as far back in the chassis as possible to optimise the centre of gravity and weight distribution, the engine develops 725PS at 6500rpm and 900Nm from 1800-5000rpm.</p>

<p>Of course, the DBS Superleggera comes with a generous dose of standard features, including keyless entry, tyre pressure monitoring system, a 360-degree camera, a complete infotainment system, a satellite navigation system and a Wi-Fi hub. All-in-all, a neat package!</p>
<p>Speaking at the launch ceremony, Patrik Nilsson, Aston Martin Asia-Pacific President, seemed visibly happy with the new car. “The new DBS Superleggera is an important chapter in our Second Century Plan, as it completes our vision to replace our core sports car model. I hope that those who get a chance to view it will agree that it has tremendous presence and charisma,” he said.</p>
<p>Recommended on-road retail price: From HKD$4,680,000</p>
