Madoffs 17 Rolexes, Her Furs, Hermes Set for Auction
Nov. 10 (Bloomberg) -- A tea service, an Oyster chronograph watch and assorted ashtrays once used by Bernard and Ruth Madoff will be auctioned on Nov. 14 at the Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers to benefit victims of his $65 billion Ponzi scheme.
Bernard Madoff, 71, had 17 Rolexes, including the Oyster chronograph estimated to fetch as much as $63,500. He also dressed his wrist with seven Cartier watches, and tickers from Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet and Franck Muller.
Almost all those watchmakers are in or near Geneva, a city where financial institutions -- including Union Bancaire Privee, Genevalor Benbassat & Cie. and Hyposwiss Private Bank Ltd. -- lost about $7 billion from investments with Madoff, undermining confidence in the fund-of-hedge-funds model that Genevas bankers helped pioneer in the 1960s.
The Nov. 14 auction offers 150 to 200 lots documenting the Madoffs obsessive acquisition of brand-name products. On the block are 11 leather Hermes handbags owned by Ruth Madoff, 68, as well as bags by Chanel, Prada, Jil Sander, Judith Leiber, Bottega Veneta and Louis Vuitton.
