One of our summertime favorites is about to kick off in the Principality of Monaco. Because every summer Monaco becomes a unique destination for lovers of art, exceptional objects, dazzling jewels and collector watches.

Highlights include timepieces from Rolex, Piaget and Vacheron Constantin among others. Elegant high jewelry pieces from Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels and pieces from a mysterious collection of a famous French actress are all on the agenda. Visitors can also have a look at a host of Hermès vintage luxury bags.  

For the Monaco Auction Week, the Paris-based auction house of Artcurial returns to the Principality and once again takes up residence at the Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo from 4 to 8 July, with a program spanning five specialities. Collectors and curious visitors alike will have the opportunity to discover a selection of rare pieces, from collector’s watches and sculptures to high jewelry and bags from the world’s most prestigious luxury houses. ©Trish Valicenti for The Gourmet Gazette
