What's the oldest watch you have? And why?

I sold a variety of Swiss and non-swiss brands for a long time when I worked as a jeweller. At the same time, I developed an interest in antique jewellery and watches.

So whether is cheap or expensive, working or not, 5 years old or 100+ years old, what's the oldest watch you own? Is it a sentimental piece or something you purchased because of its model?

Just hoping to find out about some more different watches out there!

1953 Tudor Oyster Prince 34 ref. 7950.

Narrowly beat out a Rolex 6426 from 1956 that I used to own, and matches an Omega Seamaster Calendar from 1953 I owned once and miss dearly.
