Kim Kardashian is now the new legal owner of exclusive watches, formerly owned by Jacqueline Kennedy. Rare piece of jewelry by the ex-first lady of the United States cost the television company almost 400 thousand dollars.
Desired lot
36-year-old Kim Kardashian, accustomed to pomposity and glamor not only in clothes, but also in accessories, became the owner, at first glance, quite ascetic for her classic Cartier watches of rectangular shape, made of 18-carat gold, 750 samples, with a clockwork crown of sapphire, without diamonds and other decor, which is so adored by the reality show star.
The clock attracted the attention of Kanye West's wife with her story. Previously, they belonged to the wife of former US President John F. Kennedy. The decoration was donated to the first lady by a Polish diplomat and aristocrat Stanislav Albrecht Radziwill, who was married to her younger sister Carolina Canfield, in 1963 during a marathon of military, ordinary Americans and the elite of a society arranged by her husband in Florida months before his assassination.
On the watch cover there is an engraving:
"From Stas Jackie, February 23, 1963, 02:05 - 21:35."
A good price
Kim, who recently became richer by $ 14 million, after selling her debut collection of cosmetics KKW Beauty for a few hours, decided to pamper herself and did not think about money.
Initially, the organizers of the auction Christie's planned to gain for them and the painting of the pen of Jacqueline Kennedy 120 thousand dollars, but thanks to an impressive application from Kardashian, which did not become trifle, their estimated price increased by several times and amounted to 379.5 thousand dollars. Since none of the participants in the auction expected such a turn of events, the watches sold for a few minutes.
