Apparently at the final stages of the auction, it all came down to two telephone bidders furiously bidding against each other for this bracelet.
If Madonna was one bidder, perhaps skyqueen was the other?

Thank you for updating the prices Leah! I can't believe the Cartier bracelet went for so much!Is Cartier still manufacturing versions of the bracelet?
I've personally never seen any other design such as this particular panther bracelet. What I find interesting is that this bracelet was bought by the Duchess herself, it wasn't a gift.
The amazing panther brooch, below, with the amazing 152 carat cabochon sapphire was a Cartier custom order from the couple, however.
Shows you Wallis Simpson REALLY knew her jewels, she bought these before the panther design became huge.
She can put the bracelet purchase in the movie budget. DH says I"m always thinking
. Using the figures found recently, buyers premium on this would be $700,000!
As much as I like this, I like yours more Leah. Please tell me that is not your panther brooch.
Skyqueen, let us know what your looking to bid on next! lol

! Lol, that brooch is not mine....I wish! 
That famous brooch was bought back by Cartier for its collection/archives, I believe.
