Thank you all for your advice and guidance so far. That gives me a much better grounding for my expectations.
The watch keeps very good time and has had some minor local servicing (as I understand it) including a replacement back seal/gasket. I will find out about the date wheel though as the date shown in the photos was not the actual date.
I think the gold price alone would be somewhere north of GBP 5000. I am taking that from a weight I saw published of 180g minus a guesstimate of 30g for the movement and glass etc. (I have no idea if that is reasonable?)
There is a similar one here:

at nearly GBP 12,000 but that now seems a trifle optimistic, and almost certainly not for a quick sale
