Prominent results were achieved for gems designed by Bulgari, Tiffany & Co. and Van Cleef & Arpels amongst others, which were complemented by impressive watches from Panerai, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Omega, and Rolex.

Leading the sale was The Wakil Emerald, a platinum, gold, emerald and diamond ring by Van Cleef & Arpels, circa 1974 that sold for $231,800 (lot 50, estimate $200,000–250,000, pictured above), setting an Australian auction record for an internationally-signed, single-emerald jewel.
