GUEST: I brought a watch that belonged to my great-aunt. We found it in a jewelry box after she passed away, and we never saw her wear it.
APPRAISER: It's a 1920s Cartier watch. This watch was handmade, and it's made like a sandwich. It has screws that assemble it, hold it together super-tight. And this one has three sets of marks. Two are the manufacturing numbers and one is the movement number. Usually, you don't see watches with the marks all there because, just everyday wear and tear on pieces. The unusual things are the beautiful blue enamel, all the numbering. Do you have any idea if this is a man's watch or a lady's watch?
GUEST: Well, I assumed it was a lady's watch.
APPRAISER: It's a man's watch.
GUEST: Oh.
APPRAISER: At some point, this watch has had some work done on it. The dial has been refinished, and it probably had a black original band. A watch like this, even with the dial being refinished at some point, probably of a value of, on a retail level, of about $15,000.
GUEST: Oh, I'm amazed.
APPRAISER: It is a beautiful watch.
GUEST: Thank you.
