The forthcoming 35th anniversary sale from Antiquorum is what the watch collectors and connoisseurs are looking forward to. This event will be held for two days on 14th and 15th of November in Geneva itself. Well, it’s not just the reduced rates but also the exquisite watch pieces which will go on display that is creating all the buzz. We are told that the famous shop brand has decided to keep the most exceptional timepieces aside to mark its special moment.

And the highlight of the sale will be the Calibre 89 timepiece that belongs to the esteemed Matsuda collection, and is designed by none other than Patek Phillipe himself. In fact, this watch is already being touted as the most complicated time teller in the history of the world with not one or two but a sum total of 33 complications!

So far only four models of this intricate timepiece have been created, each in yellow, pink and white gold and one in platinum. We are not told as to which one will it specifically be at the sale in question. But we do have a strong feeling about the same watch, a Calibre 89 cast in yellow gold that Antiquorum sold in 1989. Well as of now, the price range has been estimated between $4,422,430-$ 5,405,574.

Car enthusiasts are forever indebted to Mercedes-Benz for reviving their all time favorite Maybach, which is now better known as a modern ultra-luxury marque. The famous car brand went an extra mile by making the Maybach even more exclusive than the original models that were made between 1921 and 1941. A little bit of online research tells us that less than 2,000 Maybachs were manufactured in this period, of which only a mere 150 survive today in the company of serious collectors.

Once again, the car world is excited as a very rare 1938 Maybach SW 38 Cabriolet surfaced for a sale in Germany. The coachwork of this one has been done by Spohn of Revensburg. And JamesList is responsible for organising the sale of this one at an estimated price of €690,000.

This luxury roadster is a 5-passenger convertible with an exterior finishing in two-tone red and aubergine. It was last exhibited in 1938 and sold to its first owner Baron von Mylke. By the time the war got over, the car was allocated to the Chinese military mission in Berlin only to be acquired by a German architect years later.

The trace of Michael Jackson will never fade out from this world. Well, millions of his fans have pulled up their socks to find ways to celebrate his memory. And money is the least thing on their minds, even during the financial hard times. If you too fall in this category we are talking about then you should perhaps visit the auction in New York that has a unique portrait of the megastar.

Painted by Andy Warhol, this portrait is a green-hued homahe to the Thriller-era of the famous singer. And before this work of art can fetch the destined millions, it must sit pretty on display from 6th August at London’s British Music Experience, which was the venue of MJ’s famous comback that unfortunately never happened.

The painting measures 30 X 26 inches and its starting rpice is estimated at $840,000 mainly because both people associated with it, Jackson and Warhol are no more. The memories it carries is actually priceless. By the way, if you are tight on the pocket then you can always settle for the MJ Thriller doll that we told you about some time back.

Richard Gere is a motivated businessman. Well, he already has a home in North Haven, New York which is why he has lowered the selling price of his Water Mill home. Wifey Carey Lowell supports him in his decision as the price of the seven-bedroom harmhouse is brought down from $8.8 million to $7.2 million.

Now, if the budget is ok with you let us give you some more dope on the property. The Too Many Maples (yep, that’s the name of the farmhouse…cho chweet) in Water Mill was bought by Gere and his better half for just $2.75 million in 2001. The abode spreads across a 1.2 acre with facilities like a swimming pool, guest house and artist’s studio.

The country residence is appealing because of the very warm and comfortable vibe that it exudes. The flooring is antique wood and light fixtures vintage to the ‘V’. Also, there are many typical farmhouse features too like the dining table and the whte marble counter tops. Just the things you need when relaxing on a getaway with family. Any takers?

A Chicago home from the Ferris Bueller’s Day Off film is making news after 23 years of it’s first public appearance. A mid-century Ferrari house, this one was the dream child of architects A. James Speyer and David Haid way back in 1953. The exact location says Highland Park in the state of Illinois and the features include four bedrooms, four bathrooms and four more rooms of living space with gorgeous views of the countryside.

For a little memory check. The house, in the film, was owned by Ferris Bueller’s pal Cameron Frye. If you recall, there was a scene when Frye sends his father’s Ferrari through one the house’s glass walls and into the wood. Nope, don’t expect the car as part of the deal. However, there is a spacious garage for your two park not one but three luxury cars.

The International Realtor with Sudler Sotheby’s who goes by the name of Meladee Hughes said that the old abode has a very tree house kind of a feel to it. Another highlight is the steel and glass pavilion wall that features many behind-the-scenes photographs of Alan Ruck and Matthew Broderick. The price tag says $2,300,000.
