Among the dozen Rolexes in the Dec. 18–19 auction are an 18k white gold 36 mm Day-Date with a meteorite diamond dial (estimated to sell for $25,000–$35,000) and an 18k gold and stainless steel 40 mm Cosmograph Daytona (estimate $20,000–$25,000). The Morphy sale also has a strong selection of pocket watches, with a 14k gold E. Howard from the 1880s of particular note.
Aside from jewelry and watches, the auction offers many categories of objects, including rare coins, 19th-century paintings, and home furnishings and decor. Leading the sale is a Tiffany peacock lamp that carries an estimate between $200,000 and $300,000.
