The Rock, the biggest white diamond ever auctioned, sells for a hammer price of 18.6 million Swiss francs ($18.8 million), far short of the record for such a jewel. IMAGES
Christie's auction house in central London displayed the world's largest flawless D-coloured diamond on Tuesday, ahead of its sale at auction. The rare type 2A, flawless, emerald-cut diamond, weighs 163.4 carats and is in D colour, one of the finest colours of diamond. The incredibly rare interally flawless diamond was found last year in Angola and is expected to go to auction in Geneva on November 10.
The Aurora Green diamond, a Himalayan crocodile Birkin handbag and a leather jacket designed by Jean Paul Gaultier are for sale at Christie's in Hong Kong. Rough Cut (no reporter narration)
Mercedes-Benz will pursue a differentiated strategic approach with its vans in the future. As presented last year (2023), the company is aiming for a premium strategy for its commercial vans. In the future, a focused luxury strategy will apply to all newly developed, privately positioned vans, as is the case for all Mercedes‑Benz passenger cars. The aim is to fully implement this strategic change with the introduction of the upcoming modular and scalable Van Electric Architecture – VAN.EA for short – from 2026. The new private midsize vans EQV and V-Class are an important milestone on this path. Both are further elevated with new exterior and interior designs. There is also an increase in comfort and safety, especially thanks to more intelligent, digital networking. The models have been available to order from Mercedes‑Benz sales partners and online since January 2024. The standard equipment has been comprehensively upgraded and thereby tailored more precisely to customer requirements. The new V-Class starts at a list price of 59,470.25 euros[1], the new EQV from 75,281.78 euros. The new V-Class also forms the basis for the V-Class Marco Polo camper van, which is offered ex factory. It starts at 80,004.89 euros1 and adopts the model's attractiveness almost completely.
