The Court's Appeal

While there are a very limited number of such royal pieces in
existence, newly discovered watches of provenance do turn up from time to time.
Experienced collectors look to unearth these items at watch shows, enthusiasts’
meetings and with the help of pickers—dealers who comb estates or foreign
markets for items of interest. All these methods require significant time and
research. “You have to do your homework,” says Korda. “This means finding
retailers who will show you their records, or working with town historians.”
Even using these techniques, the prospect of finding watches of truly
exceptional history is akin to discovering buried treasure, and the investments
we make to cull out dead ends, forgeries and less-than-ideal pieces require an
enthusiast’s full dedication. Additional Information
