The Story Behind Ponti Collection
Where passion for vintage watchmaking meets three decades of Geneva expertise.
Founded in 2001 by Laurent Ponti, a dedicated collector since 1987, Ponti Collection was born from an unwavering belief in the authenticity and soul of vintage timepieces. Laurent, who still wears his first acquisition, a 1987 Rolex Daytona 6265 Big Red purchased for CHF 1,200, built the company on a singular philosophy: every watch deserves the same meticulous care and personal attention it would receive from a true collector. For more than two decades, Laurent and his team have hand-selected every Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Audemars Piguet in their collection, refusing to compromise on condition, provenance, or authenticity. His son Stan joined in 2017, bringing auction house and international dealer experience, ensuring the family legacy continues with fresh expertise and global perspective.
Today, Ponti Collection stands as a beacon for serious collectors seeking timepieces with genuine character and documented heritage. Every piece arrives with comprehensive authentication, full documentation, and the kind of technical insight that only 30+ years of in-house watchmaking experience can provide. Pascal, their master watchmaker with three decades of Rolex specialization, personally inspects and authenticates each acquisition. In a market often driven by volume and speculation, Ponti Collection has chosen the path of expertise, integrity, and the timeless principle that authentic luxury demands genuine knowledge.
