Pablo Escobar

The life of Pablo Escobar is shrouded in legend. “The King of Cocaine” is said to have been the wealthiest criminal in history. Allegedly, his Cartel set aside 2,500 USD each month for the purchase of rubber bands – those of which they used to wrap their stacks of cash. According to the drug lord’s son, Escobar had once set fire to bills worth over 2 million dollars. He had done so simply in order to keep he and his family warm while they were on the run from the authorities.
Escobar’s timepiece perfectly reflects his wealth-filled lifestyle. Indeed, the drug lord enjoyed a solid gold Rolex that was completely encrusted with hundreds of exquisite diamonds. The wristwatch was eventually auctioned off for a mere 8,500 USD.

Charles “Lucky“ Luciano

The father of modern organised crime in the United States and one of the most influential individuals of the 20th century is Charles “Lucky” Luciano. Luciano was born into an Italian family who immigrated to the United States when he was only 9 years old. As a teenager, Luciano started his own gang and eventually went on to earn his money through the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcohol beverages during the American Prohibition. He also became involved in the prostitution ring and offered “protection” on the American streets. Rising to the head of organised crime, Lucky Luciano has inspired countless books and films.

During the Second World War, Luciano played a role in facilitating the US army in the invasion of Sicily – a cooperation that granted him an early release from American prison. He promised the full assistance of his organisation in providing intelligence to the Navy and provided them with his mafia contacts in Sicily. In 1946, as a result of his wartime cooperation, his sentence was reduced on the condition that he does not resist deportation to Italy. In 1962, Luciano passed away as the result of a heart attack in Italy.

Several old photographs capture the famous Luciano – a man who was always dressed with taste and class. More importantly, he was always sporting a different watch on his wrist. The mafia boss is often referred to as one of the most stylish criminals of all time. The watch collection of Luciano most likely included iconic Patek Phillipe timepieces. In 1957, Luciano gifted a Patek Philippe Ref. 1516 to no other than the scandalous Joseph Bonanno. Bonanno served as inspiration for the famous novel and movie, “The Godfather”. The timepiece was auctioned off in 2009 at Antiquorum for 36,000 US dollars.
