Context and Perspectives
These two events confirm the role of Il Ponte Casa d’Aste as a protagonist in the Italian market for high-end jewelry and watch auctions. After the launch of modern and contemporary sales and other departments (such as furniture, prints, decorative arts) during the autumn season, the focus at the end of the year shifts to luxury wearable items: on one side jewelry with high jewelry pieces, on the other rare and collectible watches.
Furthermore, as anticipated in its communication, Il Ponte plans in addition to these auctions a philatelic sale of global significance in the coming months, followed by an event dedicated to the Decorative Arts of the ‘900 and Design. It is therefore a very rich calendar, designed to attract different collectors (jewelry, watches, design) and consolidate the auction’s position as a reference point for luxury collecting in Italy.
