For over 125 years Bulgari has been tremendously fortunate and blessed to maintain a legacy and heritage that could not have been achieved without the tools for success. It is for this reason that it has decided to dedicate its 125th anniversary, in 2009, to a major fundraising initiative for Save the Children’s Rewrite the Future campaign. Rewrite the Future aims to bring education to children affected by conflict in fragile countries and war-torn communities in order to protect them from violence in the short-term and help them to break the cycle of poverty and conflict in the long-term.

Eleven exquisite jewels and 7 limited edition timepieces were designed and crafted by Bulgari for this auction. One hundred percent of the proceeds from this sale will be donated to Save the Children’s Rewrite the Future campaign.

Christie’s is honored to support Bulgari’s fundraising initiative for this Save the Children campaign. Now more than ever the children of the world need our help. They are our future.

Tickets are required for this event. For more information, please contact:
