Mr. Alexandre Bigler is the VP, Head of Watches at Christie’s auction and not only is he a watch expert by profession, he is also an ardent collector with passion. When asked about his most treasured piece in his collection, the soft-spoken gentlemen from Switzerland was pretty reserved, but based on what he has seen over the years in Christie’s auctions, we know the definition of “humbling”. Still however, we got the answer – A 1967 Rolex Daytona.
