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!

Mine would be my grandfather's gold Rolex Oyster Perpetual Bubble Back from 1946. This was passed down to me on my wedding day.

He lived a very interesting life, and this is on his wrist in just about every photo I have of him .Very sentimental and the one watch I'd never sell!
