The online auction will start on Thursday, October 22 from 2pm and will time-out from 2pm on Friday, October 23, giving potential buyers a 24-hour window of opportunity to bid online to purchase some of the world’s most luxurious brands.

Potential buyers will be spoilt for choice with watches from Rolex, Hublot and Audemars Piquet as well as seven bitcoin and designer clothing, shoes and accessories from Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel and Valentino.

Other highlights will include a two-seater Rotorsport Calidus Gyroplane, a Redbay fishing boat and a Yamaha electric bike, as well as a DJI Phantom 4 Drone. All of which will be featured in the online auction that will be available to the general public.

The auction will appeal to a wide audience as a result of the quality of assets being realised by Wilsons Auctions on behalf of its government agency and law enforcement clients.
