Happy New Year from Christie’s Jewels! Wishing you a joyous 2026 as bright as the Marie-Thérèse Pink! THE MARIE-THÉRÈSE PINK A HISTORIC COLORED DIAMOND RING BY JAR Sold: $14,000,000 Magnificent Jewels | New York | 17 June 2025 Mystery and romance are set in stone at the heart of The Marie-Thérèse Pink. The rare, 10.38-carat diamond — which once belonged to Marie Antoinette’s daughter — was our New York auction’s crown jewel, achieving US$14 million and a new world auction record for a JAR gem and a Fancy Purple Pink Diamond. The kite-shaped fancy purple pink diamond weighing 10.38 carats dates back to the mid-18th century, and should most likely also be of Golconda origin, one of the most prized origins in the world revered for their outstanding gemological qualities. Currently mounted in an elegant setting fit for a queen by Parisian jeweler, JAR, the Marie-Thérèse diamond is also accompanied by a velvet case revealing a hairpin mounting bearing a faded Austrian Imperial Warrant, likely commissioned by Duchess Marie-Thérèse de Chambord in 1868. This lot is not merely a jewel, but a tangible treasure of royal history. Christie’s was proud to present this important and historic crown jewel in 2025! #christies #christiesjewels #MarieTherese #pinkdiamond

🖼 Comment bien faire estimer et bien acheter une œuvre d’art ? @victoireguilloteaugineste, vice-présidente, directrice du business development et commissaire-priseur chez @christiesparis (@christiesinc) se remémore une anecdote : quand elle a découvert avec un expert en tableaux anciens, deux œuvres majeures du XVIIe siècle dans l’Est de la France. Cette redécouverte a suscité un vif intérêt sur le marché de l’art et éclairé davantage la peinture européenne de cette époque, les deux tableaux s’étant vendus à très bon prix. 🎙 Analyse dans SMART PATRIMOINE, avec @nico_pagn. #smartpatrimoine #art #christies @iampaulinegrtl #marchedelart @aou_sib

The moment you're describing is from the Christie's New York auction on May 11, 2015, where Pablo Picasso's "Les Femmes d'Alger (Version O)" was sold in a legendary bidding war that became one of the most dramatic moments in auction history. What happened in the room Auctioneer Jussi Pylkkänen took bids that climbed rapidly past $100 million, then $150 million, and the room fell tense as two phone bidders pushed it past $170 million, $172 million, and then $175 million — each increment causing audible gasps. ​ ​ The hammer finally came down at: $179.4 million (including buyer's premium) — smashing the world record for any artwork ever sold at auction at that time. Pylkkänen called the painting "the Mozart of 20th-century painting" before closing the sale. ​ Why this auction is iconic The Picasso broke the previous record of $142.4 million by a staggering margin, signaling that trophy artworks had entered a new era of ultra-wealth bidding. The dramatic 172–175–179 bidding climax is now used in YouTube and Reel-style clips as the "greatest moment in art auction history." ​ Disclaimer: This content is shared solely for educational and informational purposes, based on publicly available auction records and media coverage, and is published under Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution of India, subject to reasonable restrictions.
