Would have to be this recent 2852 In fantastic unpolished condition with original dial and PG shark tooth marker:

And this more uncommon sparkle dial:

Have a few more but these stand out for me 😀

Did you buy it because you knew how important that watch was to case & bracelet making? If so, nice one. If not, you are one lucky bastage!

Well, I've enjoyed some luck with more than a few acquisitions over the years, but here's a very recent example. Classic '50s AP, featuring arguably the best hand-wind movement that they ever produced.

My best and most recent from a respected forum member.
1954 Pink Gold Omega Constellation Cal. 354 Jumbo





All it needs is the correct, impossible to find crown.
Then a "gift" from a fellow PuristS. Life is good ;-)

And this one because my dad gave it to me, 50 years ago, and I found it last year, after losing it 40 years ago.

Not sure it's "best" but it turns out this early / 1st series Multichron 12 gilt is far more uncommon than I ever imagined. It qualifies as rare. I have a box full of newer 'Jim Clarks' (mostly Mint) and I would trade all of them for another one of these in same condition.
