路There is a watchmaker not far from me that specializes in vintage clocks and has about 70 years experience.

路Hi @Strope
Congratulations on your finding! Cannot comment much on the watch, as I'm totally new here and my experience is close to none. I've started similar thread here recently, but with approx 5-10 times lower value. Still quite similar in terms of literally pulling stuff from a drawer that turned out (stuff, not drawer) to be much more valuable than you could even think. Therefore I also find advices you got here very wise and helpful.
I'm just curious - question for you, experienced people - won't such a timepiece gain value over time? Now it can be traded for a Porsche. Maybe it's worth to put it in a deposit box and get Bugatti or RR or both after few years? 馃槈
Best regards!

Nobody knows if the value will increase over time. And certainly one can't predict if it will be a better investment than real estate or an index fund.

路we all know the watch itself and the potential value. the real interesting story is the fact it was hiding in a drawer probly for years in that condition. could be nonfunctional when it was placed by his dad. then forgotten. old cars are discovered in a barn, and this one in a drawer. fantastic story. so check all drawers in all barns for car owners who might have forgot their watches while working in a barn.

路Yes please don鈥檛 get undersold take it to an auction house and negotiate the fees down to nothing as you will be the feature piece of the whole auction.
Amazing find. These things can be stressful so I hope for you that it brings you and your family only good things.

路what is the number, scratched into the side of the back? and i`d start with Phillips Auctions in Geneva. sell as is with that band. part of the history. you will be able to have it listed there with very low fees for you. your next auction there would be the November auction. they will either come to you or they organize a worldwide security courier to pick it up from you and insure from that moment on for a set price; in this case i would insist on US$ 200,000. Aurel Bacs is still the worlds best Auctioneer for vintage watches. if they want it open to secure their bet and check the movement number with the factory, they will advice you, who shall open the watch and it is on their risk. if you want to keep it in the family, get a safe deposit box. kind regards from Australia.
