Antiques featured on ZDF ‘Bares für Rares’

Overview

The ZDF antiques program ‘Bares für Rares’ has featured various high-value historical items. Early reports highlighted a rare 18-karat gold Rolex from approximately 1927, originally manufactured for the English market, which remains functional. The show’s host, Horst Lichter, also drew attention for wearing a gold Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, a collector’s item nicknamed the ‘Pikachu’.

Subsequent episodes showcased different categories of antiques, including a 1990s ‘Bonadea’ jewelry set by ‘Carrera y Carrera’ featuring diamonds, and a bronze sculpture of a naked athlete based on a design by Berlin artist Schmidt-Felling, dating to between 1910 and the 1920s.

Recent broadcasts have highlighted a 750 gold flea market brooch from the 1860s. Containing approximately 5.5 carats of diamonds, including a large half-carat stone, the piece sparked a competitive bidding war among dealers despite having some missing elements and modern replacements. The program, which features experts evaluating items for potential purchase by dealers, is scheduled for a livestream and television broadcast on October 11, 2026.
