Three Rolex watches and two from Patek Philippe sold for a total of $235,572 this week in an auction of items that “no longer spark joy” to Orianne Collins, the ex-wife of Genesis front man Phil Collins.
The sale was held this week by Kodner, a high value estate auctioneer in Florida where the estranged couple lived in a $40 million Miami mansion.
It raised a total of $2.2 million for lots from Ms Collins (pictured top) including $1.7 million for pieces from her jewellery collection.
It is reported that 10% of the income from the auction is being donated to the Never Give Up Foundation, which helps people with disabilities to excel. Ms Collins, a jewelry designer, is the founder and chairman of the charity.
