48 sources
  • Une broche en diamant que Napoléon a perdue alors qu'il fuyait la bataille de Waterloo a été vendue pour environ 4,4 millions de dollars lors d'une vente aux enchères de Sotheby's à Genève mercredi, dépassant largement son estimation avant-vente de 200 000 francs suisses.
  • La broche, ornée d'un diamant ovale de 13 carats entouré de diamants plus petits, a été découverte dans les calèches abandonnées de Napoléon qui se sont enlisées dans la boue alors qu'il fuyait les forces britanniques et prussiennes en 1815, et est restée parmi les héritages de la Maison royale prussienne de Hohenzollern pendant plus de deux siècles.
  • La vente aux enchères comprenait également un béryl vert de 132 carats que Napoléon portait lors de son couronnement en 1804, qui s'est vendu pour plus de 17 fois son prix estimé à 838 000 francs.
  • Les experts en diamants ont noté que la vente a suscité un intérêt supplémentaire suite au vol du mois dernier au musée du Louvre à Paris, où des voleurs ont dérobé huit bijoux napoléoniens évalués à environ 100 millions de dollars lors d'un casse qui a duré moins de quatre minutes.
