Monaco Legend Group at The Original Miami Beach Antique Show

The Original Miami Beach Antique Show (OMBAS) continues to be one of the most important watch events on the annual global calendar. Renowned for its unparalleled breadth and depth, OMBAS brings together over 600 top-tier dealers, offering an extraordinary opportunity for collectors to explore rare treasures in the vibrant setting of Miami Beach.

This year, Monaco Legend Group (MLG) once again took its place among the world's leading exhibitors, presenting an extraordinary collection of rare and collectible timepieces from its Private Sales department.

A Showcase of Horological Excellence

With a proud tradition of showcasing the finest in horology, MLG’s presence at the Miami show highlighted its ongoing commitment to offering only the most exceptional pieces. Reflecting on the event, MLG Chairman Davide Parmegiani remarked:

“Having attended this show for over 35 years, I can confidently say it is one of the most beautiful exhibitions of antiques worldwide. You can find anything you’re looking for in the field of antiques, collectibles, and precious items. Monaco Legend Group has been a part of this remarkable event for three years now, and this year was one of the best shows we’ve had in terms of sales to private collectors and consignments for our next auctions.”

Adding to the sentiments, Lady’s Watch Specialist and Events Manager, Carlotta Parmegiani, shared:

 “As always, I loved my time in Miami. The Antique Show never ceases to intrigue me with its vibrant atmosphere and entourage of collectors. It’s a delightful experience to connect with fellow enthusiasts and discover a stunning selection of beautiful watches.”

Deputy Chairman and Senior Watch Specialist Corrado Mattarelli also noted the unique charm of the event:

“The antique show is one of the most fun yearly appointments of the watch world. For many years of my life, it has marked a very joyful return to work after winter holidays. Over the years, I’ve seen an incredible amount of rare watches popping up at the stands of the selected watch dealers here. The high quality of objects and jewelry present at this Miami show adds so much joy to the eyes. It’s one of the only shows that you eagerly wait all year round for.”

Exceptional Discoveries and Future Auctions

MLG’s team not only achieved remarkable sales but also identified extraordinary timepieces to feature in its upcoming Exclusive Timepieces auctions in Monaco and Lugano. Davide Parmegiani continued:

 “This year, we collected 39 outstanding pieces, many of which are truly legendary. Among them, we discovered a Patek Philippe asymmetric Gilbert Albert, with papers, the original invoice of sale, and in top condition—an incredible find that has never been on the market. Another highlight is a marvellous and ultra-rare Vacheron Constantin automatic with a cloisonné enamel dial depicting a mythical hippocampus.” 

He added,

“It’s not the first time that I’ve found truly remarkable pieces for our auctions at this show. What stood out this year was the growing trust Monaco Legend Group has earned with American collectors. This year’s success reminds me of last year’s incredible find: the Segrave Patek Philippe cushion-shaped split seconds chronograph. The trust and enthusiasm we continue to receive from American collectors and the market are truly rewarding.”

Andrea Parmegiani, Watch Specialist and Business Development Associate, reflected on the event:

“This year’s Miami show was a tremendous success, bringing in an exceptional number of beautiful new consignments for our upcoming auctions. Miami never fails to astonish us with the incredible finds we have the honor of presenting in our sales. Attending the show is always a wonderful experience—not just for the remarkable timepieces, but also for the vibrant crowd and the connections we build with dealers across the United States. Having grown up coming to this show alongside my father, I’ve always seen it as one of the coolest environments, where the beauty of the antiques and the energy of the crowd make it truly special. What stood out this year was seeing Monaco Legend Group gain even greater appreciation and recognition. It was incredibly rewarding to feel the growing trust from both new clients and old friends who have entrusted us with their most precious timepieces. It’s these moments that make Miami one of the highlights of the year.”

Looking Ahead

With the momentum generated at OMBAS, MLG is poised for an exciting year ahead. The incredible discoveries from the show will take centre stage at the Exclusive Timepieces sales in Monaco and Lugano, promising an unparalleled experience for collectors.

Monaco Legend Group extends its gratitude to everyone who visited their stand at OMBAS and invites collectors worldwide to explore upcoming opportunities, whether through consignments, private sales, or future auctions.
