The watch, having a gold link bracelet with a double clasp closure, featured a diamond pave bezel surrounding an ellipse shaped dial with a silver matte finish and gold Roman numerals, a diamond winder and quartz movement.

The Chinese foo dogs on stands, depicting a female with a cub and a male with a ball, each one seated, wearing a teeth-bearing expression, 42 inches tall, were the auction's runner-up lot.

Following are additional highlights from the auction. All prices quoted include a 23 percent buyer's premium. Online bidding was facilitated by LiveAuctioneers.com and Invaluable.com.
