In my 30+ years as a watch dealer, I’ve learned to trust my gut. My latest grail, a 1927 Audemars Piguet Complete Calendar in pale yellow gold, is a rare masterpiece. Its Breguet numerals, cathedral hands, and soft patina stole my heart. At auction, I bid big, driven by conviction, not numbers. This watch, one of 10 surviving, is why I never regret pulling the trigger.
