Patek Philippe 1518 Stainless Steel – Collectors’ Holy Grail

1 Reference. 5 Scholars. 1 Material. 8 Questions. All right – perhaps more than eight questions. But how else could we spell out 1518, the legendary reference from Patek Philippe that gives goose bumps to watch collectors the world over? In this special roundtable, five of the most distinguished Patek Philippe experts, with almost 200 years of combined experience, explore the mystique of the stainless-steel perpetual calendar chronograph that will come under the hammer at the DECADE ONE (2015 – 2015) auction at Phillips in Association with Bacs & Russo in Geneva on November 8. From left to right, meet auctioneer Aurel Bacs; author and dealer John Reardon; historian, author and journalist Nick Foulkes; auctioneer Davide Parmegiani; and consultant, historian and author Dr. Helmut Crott. Never before have these distinguished gentlemen sat at the same table, let alone discussed their thoughts on such a watch. Together, they reveal what captivates them about the 1518, their personal encounters with it, why it stands as a true grail, their views on preservation and condition, and how being a scholar means that you never stop learning.
