Vicente Laino was a Italian born goldsmith who emigrated to Venezuela as many Italians did at that time looking for a better future , at arrival in Caracas he met his countryman Leopold Serpico.
Together they started a jewellry & watch shop in the countries Capital at some point they got to be a famous shop; allowed to order Rolexes and Patek Philippe watches with their Retailers name on the dial , only a few were allowed..Serpico Y Laino retailed watches are now highly collectable as for example Asprey of London , Tiffany New York and Swiss firm Beyer…
