Davide Parmegiani and the Legend of the Patek Philippe Platinum ref. 1415 HU

May 24, 2021

One of the world’s leading vintage watch experts and a renowned collector, Davide Parmegiani can never forget that momentous day when Antiquorum put up Patek Philippe’s platinum ref.1415 HU – a piece unique – for sale at its auction in 2002. “It was one of the most incredible auction battles of my career, as I witnessed two collectors fight tooth and nail over this timepiece,” says Parmegiani, who had already dealt with this watch twice and had finally sold it to Oswaldo Patrizzi, Antiquorum’s famous owner and auctioneer back then. “This was the time when Philippe Stern was aggressively buying watches for his museum.

AN OUTLOOK ON THE WATCH MARKET AMID THE COVID-19 CRISIS

This view is echoed by Davide Parmegiani, unquestionably one of the most important watch specialists and dealers on the planet. For context, this is the man who has handled all four of the legendary Patek Philippe 1518s in steel. As Davide tells us, it’s not the first time he’s gone through an event such as this, “I have already experienced many important economic crises: the first Gulf War of 1991, the second, the 2008 crisis, and so on”. Armed with this experience, Davide seems somewhat positive about the future of the collectable vintage watch market, “I can tell you that collector’s watches have never been significantly affected by these crises. Indeed, I would venture to say that after normal periods of settling that usually sweep away short-term speculators, the market has always come out stronger and stronger than before. The average value of the pieces in the last 30 years is valid testimony.” Of course, he’s quick to point out that this crisis is unparalleled in its nature, yet his confidence remains absolute.

The Italian Influence

Back in the 1980s, a small group of Italian watch dealers started buying up “exotic” dial Rolex Daytonas, later dubbing them “Paul Newman Daytonas.” This watch originally sat untouched in retailers’ cases and cost less than $1,000. Now some rare examples fetch more than $1 million. How did one group of people from one country influence the way we collect vintage watches so strongly? We sit down with two men who have seen it all, from both collecting and selling standpoints, John Goldberger and Davide Parmegiani. Both are legends in the vintage watch world and are testaments to how one country has changed everything.
