Rare pink diamond could set auction record
A rare pink diamond auctioned next week could set a new world record if it sells for its estimated price of $27m-$38m (€20m-€28m), Sotheby’s says.
The 24.78-carat gem, described as “fancy intense pink”, would top the previous record set by rival auctioneers Christie’s when it sold the blue 35.56-carat Wittelsbach-Graff diamond for £15.2m (€17.8m) in 2008.
