Notes on individual lots
- Lot 502
The Sunrise Ruby, a ruby and diamond ring, Cartier
SSEF 78414 and Gubelin 15020105, Burmese origin, no indications of heating. Sotheby's states the sale at 28.3 million francs; the exact premium-inclusive figure was not verified to this ledger's bar, so the price column is empty. Reported at sale as world records for a ruby, for price per carat for a ruby, and for a Cartier jewel; the ruby record passed to the Estrela de Fura in 2023.
