FORTE DEI MARMI AUCTION RESULTS
The outstanding Important Modern & Vintage Timepieces Forte dei Marmi auction, in
collaboration with Deangelis, achieved an outstanding EUR 4,4 million (incl. buyer’s premium) and
two world records.
MILAN, ITALY (June 29th, 2021) — On Saturday June 26th, 2021, Antiquorum, the world’s premier
auctioneers of modern and vintage timepieces established in Geneva in 1974, hosted its very first
outdoors auction in Forte dei Marmi, in collaboration with Deangelis. The last Antiquorum auction
in Italy, was 25 years ago, on March 25th, 1996, in Milano, in Palazzo Dei Giureconsulti. Therefore,
this event in Alpemare, which ended in remarkable results (EUR 4,401,835 incl. buyer’s premium),
marks the return of Antiquorum to Italy and evidences the enthusiasm of the Italian market.
More than 200 lots went under the hammer during the auction that began at 6:00PM and went on to
9:00 PM. Buyers are back in the room, with 51% of bidders that came in person in addition to bidders
from all over the world logged in on Antiquorum.swiss. With rare lots from brands such as Rolex,
Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe, this auction demonstrated great interest amongst collectors
and lovers of great watchmaking.
“Coming back to the Italian soil to organize an auction after so long, 25 years, was a true challenge
that our teams overcame with great success, in collaboration with Deangelis. After the international
quarantine, it was such a joy to welcome back bidders in the room; actually, more precisely, on a
beach, which makes this event our very first outdoor auction. This bodes well for the future of
Antiquorum on the Italian market.”
Romain Réa, Antiquorum CEO.
