Now, ideally, I would like to have link the reference 3605/2J Jumbo link Golden Ellipse, circa 1978, with the gold bracelet, which is about $20,000. But I would be content with something a bit more modest, like ref. 3548J, which is manually wound as opposed link to automatic and on a strap rather than the gold bracelet.

Yes it's natural to expect some degree of link pricing discrepancy between the results of link pocket watches and wristwatches at auction you can only wear one of them comfortably on your wrist after all and I don't want to take anything away from the beauty and inherent value the Anniversary 00 still possesses. But it does make me wonder how collectors who are shopping at the top link of the market are currently prioritizing the historical significance of different watches.
