Diamonds of all shapes, sizes and colors will be offered at Christie's Magnificent Jewels sale on April 25, including this extremely rare 9.39-carat fancy-deep-grayish-blue diamond ring.

New York—Christie's auction house will offer its annual Magnificent Jewels sale on April 25 and its Important Pocket Watches and Wristwatches sale on April 26.

The Baroda Pearls will anchor the jewelry sale, while a rare Patek Philippe timepiece will lead the watch auction.

The Baroda Pearls is a two-strand natural-pearl necklace strung with 68 of the finest and largest pearls from the famed seven-strand natural-pearl necklace that once formed the cornerstone of the Royal Treasury of the Maharaja of Baroda. Christie's expects to sell the necklace for $7 million to $9 million.

The Magnificent Jewels sale will include 260 lots, including diamonds, gems and signed pieces by Cartier, Graff, Harry Winston and J.A.R. Christie's expects the auction total to reach about $25 million.

One of the finest sapphires on the market, a 22-carat Kashmir, is estimated to sell for $250,000 to $350,000 at Christie's Magnificent Jewels sale.

The Patek Philippe watch, which has never before been seen at auction, is a single-button chronograph, Ref. 130. Christie's expects the piece to sell for $250,000 to $500,000.

The watch auction will feature 390 lots, ranging from 17th-century pocket watches to modern, highly complicated pieces by Audemars Piguet, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Patek Philippe, Rolex and Vacheron Constantin. Christie's expects the auction total to reach more than $4 million.
