This photograph shows an employee of Sotheby's auction house holding the brooch featuring old mine-cut diamonds once owned by Napoleon Bonaparte and seized by the Prussian army as the defeated French Emperor fled the battle of Waterloo, at Sotheby's in Geneva on November 6, 2025. Spectacular diamonds valued at tens of millions of dollars will go under the hammer at Sotheby's annual Royal & Noble Jewels Sale in Geneva on November 12, alongside a brooch seized from Napoleon Bonaparte, valued at 130.000 and 220.000 euros (150,000 to 250,000 USD).
