Christie’s announces that the legendary Archduke Joseph Diamond will be offered at auction in Geneva on 13 November 2012. Undoubtedly one of the rarest and most famous diamonds in the world, this magnificent gem combines an impressive size of 76.02 carats, perfect colour, and internally flawless clarity.


Archduke Joseph Diamond

As the star lot of the fall jewelry auction season, this spectacular diamond presents an unprecedented opportunity for both new and established collectors to own an incomparable jewel of historical and gemological significance. While the auction estimate is available only upon request, the Archduke Joseph Diamond is expected to achieve well in excess of US$15 million.
