Sotheby's Concierge Auctions Announces First-Ever Abu Dhabi Sale during Sotheby’s & RM Sotheby’s Marquee Auction Series
Marquee offerings include a single-owner collection of jewellery and watches estimated at $20M+ and a RM Sotheby’s McLaren Racing collaboration
NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, August 28, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Sotheby's Concierge Auctions, the world's leading luxury real estate auction house, announces its participation in the inaugural "Abu Dhabi Collectors' Week," taking place 2–5 December 2025, at The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort. In participation with Sotheby's, RM Sotheby’s, and the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO), the firm will exclusively present Sotheby’s International Realty-represented offerings of ultra-luxury real estate alongside a marquee collection of exquisite jewellery, rare timepieces, and world-class collector cars in the world’s fastest growing regions for culture, art, and luxury.
The four-day luxury auction event positions Abu Dhabi as a premier global destination for high-end collecting across multiple asset classes. The event strategically coincides with Abu Dhabi's most dynamic week of the year, including the Formula 1 Grand Prix, Abu Dhabi Finance Week, and Bitcoin MENA.
"Abu Dhabi has emerged as one of the world's most sophisticated luxury markets, and our participation in ‘Abu Dhabi Collectors' Week’ reflects the growing intersection between fine real estate and luxury collecting," said Krystal Aeby, President of Sotheby's Concierge Auctions. "This unprecedented collaboration creates a unique opportunity for our global clientele to experience the finest in luxury assets across multiple categories in one of the world's most culturally rich destinations."
Strategic Market Expansion
The Abu Dhabi showcase represents Sotheby's Concierge Auctions' continued presence and expansion into premiere luxury markets. This move follows the firm's recent record-breaking transactions, including the $88.48 million sale of the Hamptons estate 'La Dune'—which was the most expensive sale, more than double of the second most expensive Hamptons sale last year.
"The Middle East represents one of the most dynamic regions for luxury real estate investment globally," said Chad Roffers, CEO of Sotheby's Concierge Auctions. "Our participation in ‘Abu Dhabi Collectors' Week’ allows us to present exceptional properties to an international audience of ultra-high-net-worth individuals during one of the region's most prestigious cultural events."
Cultural Destination Advantage
Saadiyat Island provides an unparalleled cultural backdrop, home to a constellation of world-class museums and institutions, including the Louvre Abu Dhabi, with the forthcoming Guggenheim Abu Dhabi and Zayed National Museum further cementing the location's status as a global cultural destination.
The timing aligns perfectly with Abu Dhabi's position as a hub for international business and culture, with the concurrent F1 Grand Prix drawing a global audience of luxury consumers and collectors.
Global Network Integration
Prior to the Abu Dhabi presentations, select property highlights will be showcased at Sotheby's Concierge Auctions' international locations, leveraging the firm's global network to maximize exposure among qualified buyers. The company's proprietary marketing methodology ensures properties reach the most qualified audience of luxury real estate investors worldwide.
"Our established relationships with luxury collectors, combined with our proven auction methodology, creates the perfect synergy for this type of cross-category luxury event," added Aeby. "’Abu Dhabi Collectors' Week’ represents the future of luxury auction experiences, bringing together the finest assets across multiple collecting categories in truly extraordinary settings."
