On 28 November, Christie’s Magnificent Jewels Including The Collection of Rosamund Kwan totalled HK$359,380,860 / US$46,222,488 with solid sell-through rates of 86% by lot and 82% by value and drew global participation from 21 countries across 3 continents.  Lots 1955 and 1956 from The Collection of Rosemund Kwan drew competitive bidding in the sale room and via telephone taking over 15 minutes, and eventually selling to the same private collector in the room.

Vickie Sek, Chairman, Jewellery, Asia Pacific, commented, “Throughout 2022 we have continued to witness the resilience of Hong Kong as a major centre for art and luxury in Asia. We were very happy to welcome so many of our collectors and colleagues back into our saleroom after a few years and look forward to Hong Kong continuing to thrive.

It was an honour to present the collection of legendary Hong Kong actress Rosamund Kwan – her impeccably curated collection drew international interest as reflected in the results, further cementing Christie’s success in offering the most prestigious single-owner collections.”
