12 Watches That Reveal What Kind of Collector You Are

What kind of watch collector are you?

Some collectors chase icons. Others care about design, tiny details, history, or watches almost nobody else would choose. In this video, I’m taking you through 12 vintage watches from our latest Goldammer drop — and matching each of them to a different type of watch collector.

From a Patek Philippe Nautilus and a black-dial Rolex Day-Date to an extraordinary Omega Constellation Pie Pan, a single-hand Audemars Piguet Philosophe, vintage Vacheron Constantin, Piaget and more, this is one of the most diverse selections we’ve had in a while.

And as always, I’ll show you the watches up close, talk about the details that make them special, and share the approximate prices before they go live.

So the question is: which collector are you — and which watch would you choose?

All watches featured in this video are part of our latest vintage watch selection at Goldammer.
