As well as jewelry, there’s a lot to choose from.
In a upcoming sale at Florida-based Kodner Auction House, Phil Collins’ ex-wife Orianne Cevey’s high-ticket items include a Rolex GMT-Master II Meteorite “Pepsi” (estimate $50,000-$70,000), a Patek Philippe 5711R (estimate $9,000 to $120,000), and a Richard Mille RM 11-03 (estimate $300,000 to $400K).
Collins and Cevey have parted ways again, if you haven’t been keeping up with the tabloids. The “Against All Odds: (Take a Look at Me Now)” and “Another Day in Paradise” hitmaker and his ex have decided to no longer be together. After getting together in 1999 and divorced in 2006, the singer served Cevey last October with a notice to vacate their Miami home after she secretly married another man in August. Collins’ jewelry, memorabilia, and unpublished music were said to be at “substantial risk” as part of the hearing, according to Vanity Fair.
Collins finally sold the home this year for million. Now, Cevey is serving him payback by auctioning off several of his personal belongings, as well as her own. Tomorrow, Kodner will be orchestrating the second auction of Cevey’s personal acquisitions during her marriage and partnership with Collins.
On February 3, the musician’s first sale, which raised $2,165,592, included multiple gold LPs and awards he owned. There will be lots of watches, jewelry, Gucci, Dior, Louis Vuitton and Chanel handbags, along with Phil Collins memorabilia and awards in the next round, which will take place on March 3rd at 6 PM EST.
All of the watches in this collection are difficult to find at retail and sell for high prices in the secondary market, including three Rolexes, two Aquanauts and three Nautilus models. There is currently a $30,000 price difference between Kodner’s top estimate for the rose gold 5711R Nautilus and the khaki green Patek Philippe 5168G Aquanaut, which sells on the secondary market for $80,000 to $85,000, but retails for $39. It was introduced three years after the couple split, but most of its watches appear to be men’s models.
As well as diamonds, sapphires, emeralds and pearls, Cevey’s collection also includes plenty of diamonds, sapphires, and emeralds. There are several diamond engagement rings available for purchase: an emerald-cut ring that measures 5.08 carats set in white gold (estimate $30-40,000), a ring of round brilliant-cut diamonds and platinum accented with baguettes and round brilliant-cut diamonds that weighs 4.38 carats (approximately $20,000-$30,000), and a platinum ring with a 15.37 carat round brilliant-cut diamond (estimate $150,000 to $250,000) of L color and VS2 clarity.
A new beginning is in the making.
Ten percent of the proceeds from the sale will go to the Little Dreams Foundation, a charity started by Collins and Cevey in 2000 that offers sports, music, and art training to underprivileged children.
