Brad Pitt and his foray into the world of vintage watches
Brad Pitt, known for his presence in the film industry, has emerged as a leading figure in the world of vintage watch collecting. During the premiere of “Bob Marley: One Love”, a production of his company Plan B, Pitt was captured wearing one of his favorites: the Patek Philippe reference 2526. This watch, which dates back to the 1950s, stands out for its automatic movement and an enamelled dial, a detail that distinguishes it from popular luxury sports watches.
The Patek Philippe ref. 2526 was produced in several dial variants starting in the 1950s, with the enamelled ones manufactured by Stern Frères being the most coveted. It is estimated that between 500 and 600 examples of this reference were manufactured between 1953 and 1960. However, due to its fragility, not many have survived in good condition, making it a highly sought after piece by collectors.
Unlike conventional models, the Patek Philippe ref. 2526 with enamelled dial can reach considerably higher prices on the market, exceeding $60,000. Its importance lies in being one of the brand’s first watches with an automatic movement, which makes it a highly relevant piece for watchmaking fans.
The sighting of Brad Pitt wearing this watch has created quite a stir online, especially among watch enthusiasts. The actor accessorized his outfit with a bracelet that has many experts baffled as it does not resemble the standard bracelets associated with the Patek Philippe ref. 2526.
This is not the first time that Brad Pitt has attracted attention for his choice of watch, he was previously seen wearing a stainless steel Vacheron Constantin 222, suggesting a growing interest in vintage watches. Pitt’s presence in the world of watchmaking has been greeted with enthusiasm by fans, who see him as a new member of the watch collecting community.
