Countess Elena De Bacci and Countessina Anna De Bacci joined the RM Sotheby’s 2024 auction in Dubai, featuring a variety of blue-chip collector cars, ranging from the beloved classics to the modern hypercars.
This was the second time RM Sotheby came to Dubai, the place renowned worldwide for its passionate car culture. This exclusive event took place during the busiest season in the city at the stunning Emirates Golf Course.
The auction was held in partnership with the Mille Miglia Experience UAE, an exciting event that brought a taste of the legendary Italian road race for automobiles, to the UAE.
RM Sotheby’s Dubai auction revealed the most valuable collection of supercars ever assembled in the Middle East.
The stars of the show were a 2014 Pagani Zonda 760 LM Roadster, and a white 2022 Aston Martin Valkyrie Coupe — one of the only ones on the market right now. The Pagani was sold for $11,086,250, thus becoming the most expensive road car of the 21st century ever sold at auction.
The sale also featured an exceptional selection of horology, with a remarkable 12 watches, including the TAG Heuer Carrera and the Jaeger LeCoultre AMVOX3 Tourbillon GMT.
It is simply remarkable to see what humanity has been able to achieve in less than a century. The supercars that we saw at the RM Sotheby’s 2024 Dubai auction are a true monument to the world’s progress and innovation.

It is exciting to realize that we, humans, created by our greatest Creator, are also able to create by His example, especially, such incredible vehicles that are not just beautiful, but exceed the imaginable limits in terms of performance.
We are honored to witness another great milestone in the global history here in the UAE, the icon of modernization.
As Roarington reports, the Emirati collecting scene has changed significantly: in the past five years, Dubai has hosted the Mille Miglia Experience UAE, starting in Dubai, and Abu Dhabi has welcomed the Cavallino Classic Middle East — both world-class events. The numbers from the latest auction were encouraging: 41 cars offered, with 30 sold, translating to a strong 73.17%. The estimated value was an impressive $33,710,000, and the final sales totaled an extraordinary $27,822,825 — almost 83% of the estimate. The average price of $928,428 highlighted a strong focus on the high-end market, though prices may take time to stabilize.
Interesting fact: R.M. Sotheby’s started out as R.M. Auto Restoration by a man known as Rob Myers — hence the “R” and the “M”. It later became RM Auctions, and is known today as R.M. Sotheby’s.
