The late Shah of Iran was a great watch enthusiast with impeccable taste, decades ahead of his time. Consider the fact he was the first customer to own the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak in 1972, and the Patek Philippe Nautilus – when NOBODY understood or was buying these watches.
The Shah was also the man responsible for the creation of the Mercedes G Wagon – the “Watch Diller” favorite ride. What would the Shah think of the the long row of G-Wagons parked outside the Miami Beach watch show in January, driven by grey market dealers who paid for those cars by flipping Nautilus and Royal Oak…? We review the collection of the Shah of Shahs featuring the peak of 70’s Rolex, Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe.
