Throughout the past three days, Christie’s Auction House has experienced some record-setting sales of jewels, watches and wine in what may go down as one of the most successful auctions of the season. During the May 18 Magnificent Jewels Auction, the top lot sold was the Oppenheimer Blue Diamond, which reaped an incredible $57.5 million and set a new world record as the most expensive jewel sold at auction.
