Meet the Experts
Stefano Mazzariol & Carlo Pergola are two of the most respected vintage Rolex authorities in the world. Their knowledge shapes collections, their expertise defines value.
Stefano Mazzariol
Antiquarian and dealer in vintage watches for more than 30 years.
His is a well-known name among vintage Rolex enthusiasts because, thanks to his consultancy and commissioned expertise, he has contributed to the creation of numerous private collections both in Italy and abroad.
His experience is the result of continuous research and study of the vintage watch – an object that, according to Stefano, should not only be looked at but carefully observed, because even the smallest detail can make its value soar or inexorably lower it.
He has co-authored numerous books such as ‘Ultimate Rolex Daytona’ and for several years was a pen-pusher for trade magazines such as ‘Watch club’ and ‘Watch shop’. He is also co-author of the book ‘Rolex Daytona: from Birth to Myth’.
In recent years, he created mazzariolstefanolibrary.com, the most comprehensive website ever created on the world of vintage watches and the Rolex brand in particular.
Carlo Pergola
An enthusiast and admirer of vintage Rolex watches for over thirty years,
he has researched original materials from all over the world in order to gain an in-depth knowledge of the graphic style and construction techniques of Rolex watches, so as to become one of the most authoritative experts on the subject on the Italian scene. His daily study and time spent observing a multitude of specimens over the years have enabled him to develop an in-depth knowledge of the evolution of the counterfeiting of these timepieces.
He performs consultancy and authenticity appraisals for many luxury vintage watch dealers in Italy and abroad, as well as making his experience and expertise available via the web, in virtual spaces dedicated to collectors and enthusiasts.
He has written several literary works dedicated to Rolex timepieces, the best-known of which is ‘Rolex Daytona: from Birth to Myth’, produced in collaboration with Stefano Mazzariol and Giovanni Dosso: a sort of ‘user’s guide’, usable by the expert collector as well as the curious neophyte, which recounts the chronological path and evolution of the Rolex Daytona.
Maurizio De Angelis
The establishment of the Deangelis company in 2014 is the result of the experience and professional evolution of its founder, Maurizio De Angelis. At not yet eighteen years old, Maurizio entered the world of high watchmaking driven by a particular passion for collector timepieces and vintage items in general. Maurizio loves watches, studying their history, design, and engineering. He spends hours disassembling and reassembling them to fully understand and recognize them down to the smallest detail. Over the years, this passion progressively grows and evolves into a satisfying entrepreneurial journey. Maurizio actively participates in leading industry fairs and major international auctions in Europe and beyond.
In 2014, Maurizio decides to transform his individual activity into a company specializing in the consultancy and trading of iconic collectible watches, organized to promote and sell online as well. In August 2020, the company marks its entry into retail by opening the first Deangelis Concept Boutique in Forte dei Marmi. In September 2022, Deangelis inaugurates its second boutique, landing in the heart of Milan’s fashion district.
