This month's Monaco Legend Group auction will be the first since the arrival of expert Davide Parmegiani. Among the watches to be offered will be a 1959 Omega Speedmaster, estimated at a punchy €150,000 ($171,000) to €300,000, due to its rare tropical dial and "Broad Arrow" hands. Also on offer is a 1954 Rolex Sub-Aqua, which the auctioneer described as a prototype for the Submariner. The sale also includes an original 1933 Patek Philippe Daytona from the collection of the late collector Robert E. LeFevre, who died in 2009.
