TEHACHAPI, Calif. – Government Auction's Nov. 23, 2012 Black
Friday auction will launch the holiday season with a sizable cache of luxury
goods that includes designer watches, precious gems and gold coins. More than
1,300 lots will be offered in the one-day auction, with bids opening at only $2
on most lots. LiveAuctioneers.com will provide the Internet live bidding for
the sale.
An exceptional Patek Philippe Geneve watch is an elite
auction highlight in the timepiece category. The Patek Phillipe Company was
founded in 1839 and has remained a family-owned business through four
generations of Sterns since 1932. The company is, in fact, Geneva's oldest
independent family-owned watch manufacturer. Patek Phillippe watches are quite
exclusive, with roughly 200 models created in intentionally small production
series, thereby ensuring their rarity.
The pre-owned Patek Phillippe to be auctioned by Government
Auction is a simple yet classic design composed of a black leather band, steel
case and white face with black Roman numerals. Another fine luxury watch in the
sale is a Men's Rolex Oyster. The watch is a vintage example of stainless steel
with a white face.
Included within the multitude of fine jewelry pieces is a
stunning 27.04-carat pear-cut blue sapphire and diamond ring. The ring is
composed of 14K white gold with the large sapphire elevated above the band
portion of the ring. The band enclosure is V-shaped to match the proportions
and composition of the main sapphire and is surrounded by 1.82 carats of
diamonds on the side.
In keeping with the holiday weekend’s luxury theme,
Government Auction will present the gift to please any woman who favors
designer brands: a Louis Vuitton "Claudia" purse. Brand new from the
Louis Vuitton factory, the top-handle bag is mainly white with multicolor
leather straps and corners with the “LV” signature design prominently featured
as a multicolored pattern throughout. The monogram multicolor is a creation of
designer Takashi Murakami, exclusively for Louis Vuitton.
For numismatics enthusiasts or gold investors, the Black
Friday event includes a coveted rarity: an 1881 U.S. $10 Liberty gold coin.
Known as "Eagles," coins of this type are composed of 90% gold and
10% copper, a combination that renders a deep, rich golden patina. This particular
type of coin was minted from 1866-1907 in Philadelphia. The obverse features a
golden-coifed Lady Liberty, while a majestic American Eagle appears on verso.
The sale’s antique category is led by Lot 47a, an antique
Regina music box. This stately machine made around 1900 has an automatic
27.5-inch disc changer encased in luscious mahogany with spindle railing on top
of the cabinet and carved corbels.
Other auction highlights include a 2.65-carat princess-cut
diamond gemstone, an Audemars Piguet wristwatch, a Mills Hi-Top 5-cent slot
machine, a National Cash Register Model 13 and more.
