"La Regente"-La Perle Napoléon This pearl was sold October 11, 2005 for $2,516,360.00  Another record was set for a single pearl, La Perle Napoleon, also known as La Regente. The oval-shaped natural pearl, weighing 302.68 grams is set in a silver and gold mount with old-cut diamonds. It was sold previously at Christie’s Geneva in 1988 for $850,000, a world record at the time. The record was truly smashed at this sale. The pearl was sold to an Asian private for $2,516,360, three times the high estimate.
