 With a gaze full of curiosity and a smile that speaks of charm and confi-
dence, Enzo Fulginiti embodies the spirit of a life passionately lived. His
eyes—warm and sharp like the hazelnuts of his native Piedmont—reflect
the soul of a man who has spent over seventy years pursuing excellence
in every form it takes. A successful insurance entrepreneur by profes-
sion, Enzo’s world has always revolved around far more than business:
automobiles, fine cuisine, and exceptional timepieces have been his
true passions.

tion far beyond the borders of his profession. Known internationally as
a renowned Jaguar collector, Enzo has participated in some of the most
prestigious automotive events, including the Concorso d’Eleganza Vil-
la d’Este, where his taste and deep appreciation for automotive design
have been widely celebrated.
Lots 1 to 56
Yet Enzo is not defined by cars alone. A lover of gastronomy and beau-
ty, he is a close friend to many acclaimed chefs and restaurateurs, with
whom he shares not only meals but a profound appreciation for the cul-
ture of living well. His world is built on refinement, not for display but for
personal joy and aesthetic harmony—a way of life that naturally extend-
ed into the realm of horology.

His journey as a watch collector is deeply personal and spans decades.

Enzo has never followed trends. Instead, he has collected with intent,
emotion, and an eye for the exceptional. His collection is wide-ranging,
reflecting a restless curiosity and a consistent pursuit of rarity, crafts-
manship, and soul.

Among the many highlights are sculptural and unconventional Patek

Philippe references, Franck Muller timepieces rich in complications and
architectural flair, a powerful and elegant Onyx Day-Date, and a broad
selection of Breguet watches, from chronographs to perpetual calen-
dars, each one a benchmark of precision and taste. The collection also
includes a rare and ingenious Cartier Basculante and a limited edition
Jaeger-LeCoultre minute repeater, both testaments to mechanical inno-
vation and refined design.

Each watch in this collection tells a story of discovery, admiration, and

passion. Together, they form a portrait of a man who has lived with pur-
pose, style, and unshakable curiosity. This collection is the expression of
a lifetime well lived, and a celebration of Enzo Fulginiti’s endless love for
beauty, rarity, and timeless elegance.

 LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Friends, Customers and Collectors,

The Monaco auction is just a few weeks behind us, and as many of you have seen, it was a blast!

The watch market, and vintage in particular, remains very active. That said, it would
be unrealistic to suggest that global uncertainty and shifting tariffs haven’t affected
the mood among collectors. What we’ve witnessed is a healthy realignment of prices,
creating exceptional opportunities to acquire top-tier watches at attractive levels.

With that spirit in mind, we are proud to introduce a fresh new format for our Lugano auction
catalogue, an exclusive event offering an extraordinary variety of rare and important timepieces.

From the beautiful neovintage Fulginiti Collection, to an outstanding selection of Audemars

Piguet from our dear friend Adam Victor, this sale brings together an exciting mix of
styles and eras. Among the many highlights is a unique Patek Philippe reference 3448
in white gold, featuring an exceptional enamel dial with Breguet numerals. And of
course, we cannot overlook the stunning Audemars Piguet three-register chronograph
retailed by Cartier, offered with a certificate of authenticity from Cartier Paris.

We are proud and honored to welcome you all to Lugano for the
next chapter in the Monaco Legend Group adventure!

Warm regards,
Davide Parmegiani
