What is your one realistic grail?

What's the one watch, Rolex or not, that you will get in your lifetime?

When I say realistic, I mean reasonably obtainable. Not some piece that was limited to a production of 5 and doesn't cost $8654849752937219.

I jest, I jest. I was fortunate enough to obtain one of my grails recently so now anything else would have to be extremely special to be anywhere on my radar.

Does this include two-tone and full gold? If so, it's totally possible

It's really, really ambitious, but it's one I think I can nab someday before retirement.

Probably a perpetual calendar. Like the IWC Portuguese Perpetual.

If it's gonna be a grail, might as well be a high-end complication.

I considered 116500LN my grail and acquired it. The next thing I'll probably look forward to is a Patek 5146G
