Monaco Legend Group reaffirmed its leading position in the world of collectible watches this weekend with its Exclusive Timepieces auction, achieving €16.6 million in total sales and an extraordinary 96 percent of lots sold across two vibrant days at the Hôtel Méridien Beach Plaza in Monte-Carlo…
Led by Co-Chairmen Davide Parmegiani and Claude Cohen, the April 26–27 sale attracted collectors from around the globe, drawn by the exceptional curation and once-in-a-lifetime pieces on offer. “Once again, our sale proves that the demand for rare and important watches is not only healthy but growing stronger,” said Davide Parmegiani. “Exceptional watches will always find an enthusiastic audience.”
Among the headline-making lots was Lot 15, a Rolex “Super” Prince Brancard, an oversized and possibly unique piece from the 1930s, distinguished by its bold two-tone gold case and Extra Prima Observatory movement. After spirited bidding, it achieved €273,000, well above its high estimate.
Another star was Lot 124, a Patek Philippe reference 1526 perpetual calendar in rare pink gold with a pink dial, retailed by Casa Masson in Rio de Janeiro. Fresh to the market and possibly unique, it sold for an outstanding €1,066,000, affirming the enduring strength of exceptional vintage Patek Philippe.
The weekend’s top performer was Lot 247, a Rolex reference 6062 in steel, featuring triple calendar and moon phases. One of the finest known examples of this coveted model, it commanded a final price of €1,486,000.
Claude Cohen added: “The extraordinary results underline the quality of the watches entrusted to us and the outstanding work of our team. This is only the beginning of what Monaco Legend Group can achieve.”
