APPRAISER: I got to tell you, this is one of the prettiest small watches that have come in in a long, long time. Now, you got it where?
GUEST: My great-grandmother's jewelry. I'm the only daughter of an only daughter of an only daughter. So I inherited the jewelries down the family.
APPRAISER: Meant to be. Meant to be. It's what we call a boule watch, "boule", in French, meaning ball.
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: All right? Um, there were a lot of companies that made them, but not quite this beautiful. This is all hand-pierced in platinum.
GUEST: Oh!
APPRAISER: And there's little, tiny rose diamonds set in there. A rose diamond is a diamond with a flat bottom and very few facets on top. Underneath, you have French, you know, that cobalt blue enamel? Right? Now, do you know how to set it?
GUEST: No.
APPRAISER: Yeah, it's a little tricky. Um, it's what we call a pin-set. There's a little pin, right here. You see that?
GUEST: Barely.
APPRAISER: Yeah, it's hard to see. I had to put my glasses on for you. Um, you push the pin, and then you rotate this...
GUEST: Oh!
APPRAISER: And the time changes.
GUEST: Uh-huh.
APPRAISER: Now, when you release that, now it's ready to wind. So it's like a little mystery-type thing.
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: The chain would hang off of this bail. But typically, these chains were just as beautiful as the watch.
GUEST: Mmm.
APPRAISER: Besides having links, it would have little stations of diamonds matching this, and then little stations of enamel going all the way around your neck.
GUEST: Oh! In the same blue color?
APPRAISER: Oh, absolutely.
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: Yeah, so, you have to really keep your eyes out for a nice chain.
GUEST: Yes, yeah.
APPRAISER: They are out there.
GUEST: All right.
APPRAISER: As it sits right here, I feel it's around $4,000 at auction.
GUEST: Oh, wow. I'm speechless.
APPRAISER: (laughs)
GUEST: Oh! My grandmother would be thrilled.
