Introduction to Francesco Ragazzi
Francesco Ragazzi is the Milan-born entrepreneur and creative director behind Palm Angels, one of the more unlikely success stories in contemporary luxury fashion. What began as a photography project documenting Los Angeles skate culture evolved into a full luxury streetwear house that now sits comfortably alongside established European fashion names. Ragazzi trained under Virgil Abloh collaborator and Off-White founder circles, and his dual identity — grounded in street culture but operating at the highest commercial level of fashion — has made him one of the more culturally fluent figures in the industry today. He serves as creative director and has guided the brand through international runway shows, collaborations with major sportswear labels, and a retail footprint that spans Europe, Asia, and North America.
The Francesco Ragazzi watch collection reflects that same fluency between worlds. He has been spotted wearing pieces from two of Geneva's most respected manufactures: Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe. On the Patek side, Ragazzi has been seen with the reference 5575G-001, the World Time Moonphase produced in white gold to mark the manufacture's 175th anniversary in 2014. It is a technically dense watch — combining the World Time complication with a moonphase display across a dial that references cloisonné enamel craft — and a notably considered choice for someone who could easily reach for something more legible or commercially familiar.
That choice says something about how Ragazzi approaches horology. Rather than defaulting to the most recognisable references, he appears drawn to pieces with genuine mechanical or historical weight. With only two watches currently logged in our database, the full picture of his collection remains to be filled in, but the references spotted so far suggest a collector who does his research.
Francesco Ragazzi Spotted Wearing Patek Philippe World Time Moonphase Ref. 5575G-001 in White Gold
Inserted 04/12/2022
The Patek Philippe 5575G-001 holds a unique place in manufacture history as the first watch to combine the World Time complication with a moonphase display — a pairing that had never appeared together in a Patek Philippe before its 2014 debut. Limited to 1,300 pieces in 18k white gold to mark the brand's 175th anniversary, it replaces the traditional guilloché centre found on standard World Timers with a photorealistic moonphase disc framed by a cloisonné enamel world map. Francesco Ragazzi, founder and creative director of Palm Angels, was spotted wearing one.
Francesco Ragazzi Spotted Wearing Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked Rainbow Ref. 15412BA
Inserted 04/12/2022
The Frosted Gold finishing on the Royal Oak ref. 15412BA is the result of a collaboration between Audemars Piguet and Florentine jeweler Carolina Bucci, who revived a centuries-old Florentine hammering technique to create a sparkling, faceted surface texture across both case and bracelet — without adding a single gram of material. Paired with 32 baguette-cut multicolored precious stones set into the bezel, the effect is uncompromising. Palm Angels founder and creative director Francesco Ragazzi wore this piece during Milan Fashion Week, where the line between fashion and fine horology runs thinnest.
