Mehr als Andere: Christie’s riesiger rosa Diamant
November 13, 2018 - Der unglaublich seltene rosa Diamant mit knapp 19 Karat erzielte in der Auktion bei Christie's in Genf am 14. Nov 2018 den Rekordpreis von $50 Millionen. Der "Pink Legacy" Diamant wurde von Harry Winston (US) ersteigert, der Preis pro Karat entspricht ungefähr $2,6Millionen.
The rectangular cut Pink Legacy diamond carries a “vivid” rating, the highest there is for a diamond’s colour, and weighs 18.96 carats, making it the largest fancy vivid pink diamond Christie’s has ever auctioned.
Only four vivid pink diamonds over 10 carats have been offered for auction before, with a record price set last November when Christie’s Hong Kong sold “The Pink Promise” diamond (just under 15 carats) for more than $32 million.
Having once belonged to the Oppenheimers – the family who built De Beers into the world’s biggest diamond trader – the Pink Legacy will be auctioned by Christie’s Geneva on November 13.
