Three choice lots from upcoming Heritage auctions
Watches & Fine Timepieces
The Oyster Perpetual Rolex DeepSea in 18k yellow gold, which debuted at Watches & Wonders in 2024, maintains the extreme technical capabilities of the line while introducing a level of opulence previously reserved for Rolex’s Submariner or Yacht-Master. Despite its luxury material, the professional-grade dive watch maintains a depth rating of 3,900 meters (12,800 feet) while commanding attention through the bold contrast between the radiant yellow gold and the electric blue lacquer dial and ceramic bezel.

U.S. Coins
The 1933 Indian eagle is one of the great American numismatic rarities of the 20th century. PCGS and NGC have combined to certify 38 coins, all in Mint State grades, including an unknown number of resubmissions and crossovers. The present coin, which exhibits sharply detailed design elements throughout, first surfaced in the collection of Louis E. Eliasberg Sr., the only numismatist to ever complete a full collection of U.S. federal coinage by date, mintmark, and major variety. It has not been publicly offered since 2008.

Modern Design
Dale Chihuly’s celebrated Chandelier series, begun in 1992, represents a bold exploration of scale, color, and immersive form. While many of these extravagant works are monumental, this example is well suited for a domestic setting, offering the same dynamic visual impact on a more intimate scale. Measuring approximately 5 feet in length and 7 feet in diameter, the chandelier is composed of intricately arranged hand-blown glass elements that radiate movement and light, embodying Chihuly’s signature organic aesthetic.
