Fresh to the market and offered by its original owner, the ultra-rare timepiece was produced for the son of Daniels' longtime friend, David Roscoe, and personally engraved 'HBR00.'

The world's most famous little black dress has arrived at #SothebysGeneva: Princess Diana's one and only 'Revenge Dress.'

Bid now ahead of the live auction on 9 December at #SothebysNewYork >> bit.ly/4iMKuVJ

Worn by the Princess of Wales in 1994 at London's Serpentine Gallery, this striking black silk evening dress has become an enduring symbol of confidence, independence and self-expression. Designed by Christina Stambolian, the unforgettable creation challenged the conventions of royal dress at the time, when modest formal attire was the norm, and went on to become one of the most defining fashion moments of the 20th century.

The lot also includes a copy of the 'Dresses from the Collection of Diana' book, signed by the Princess of Wales and Stambolian.

Come view it in person at the Mandarin Oriental, Geneva, until 10 November, before its debut at #SothebysParis.

Today, the room erupted into applause as one of the earliest platinum, diamond-set F.P. Journe Octa Divine examples soared past its estimate at #SothebysGeneva.

If you're looking to consign, get started with your valuation >> bit.ly/4dAf0AB

Introduced in 2003, the Octa Divine marked an important new direction for F.P. Journe as the first model created for the brand's Jewelry Collection. At its heart remained the celebrated Octa calibre, but for the first time, Journe combined his mechanical watchmaking with a much more precious, gem-set design.

Relive the moment Sotheby's auctioneer Clara Kessi sold it for 473,600 CHF.
