Nice find! Thats a Autavia 2446c MK I. I would say 6-8k for the watch itself and another minimum 3k for the rare and sought after double grain BOR! Prices of Heuer watches flatten in the last year, but are still valuable.
Movement is a Valjoux 72. It’s a snap back, so should be easy to open and show if the movement has the correct markings (which I bet).

It was decades but since he thought it of low value, it was rattling round in desk drawers etc ... never wore it.
It will be a nice surprise for his ‘pension fund’
Suspect the case condition is actually far better, than the ‘specular lighting’ in the images…suggests
Harsh spotlights pick up every minute graze…that the human eye does not register, in reality
Terrific find
Meh, I don't think pre-emptive "dibs" are valid. 😁
