What if the rawest essence of the Dior Homme universe nestled in the cold metal of men’s jewelry? From April 11 to 21, 2025<\/em>, Penelope’s Auction House is organizing an exceptional sale: 150 pieces of jewelry created by Hedi Slimane during his legendary stint at Dior Homme will be offered for auction.

An unprecedented sale for pieces that have become cult favorites<\/h2>\n\n

Called “La R\u00e9volution Dior Homme: les bijoux d’Hedi Slimane (2001-2005)”,<\/strong> this sale highlights a little-known but seminal jewelry production<\/strong>. Among the lots announced are: <\/p>\n\n
