Late last month, Christie’s concluded its Spring Luxury Week in Hong Kong, achieving remarkable results across various categories, including jewellery, watches, wine, and handbags—and the sale of a Kashmiri sapphire we had our eyes on earlier. Spring Luxury Week culminated in total sales of HK$725 million, with an impressive 95 per cent sell-through rate by lot and a hammer price exceeding the low estimate by 111 per cent.
