Antiques Roadshow guest shocked to discover value of watch<\/h3>\n

An Antiques Roadshow guest was left gobsmacked after their watch box was valued at an eye-watering price. After featuring on the American version of the BBC programme which is named Appraisal, the person met with auctioneer Peter Planes.<\/p>\n

The pair discussed the watch which was revealed to be a GMT Master Model Rolex. During their chat, the former army veteran admitted he had bought the watch back in the 60s.<\/p>\n

Peter delighted the guest when he revealed how much it had increased in value. The watch and the box it was encased in had skyrocketed over the years.<\/p>\n

After giving it a detailed inspection, Peter said: “I\u2019m very pleased to tell you that this watch today at auction is a very, very collectible watch. Just the watch on its own merit would be worth today between $35,000 (\u00a327,813) and $45,000 (35,760).”<\/p>\n

He left the man astonished by the staggering price of the Rolex. Peter added that the reason why it was worth the huge amount was because he kept the original box.<\/p>\n

“But this watch is worth much more because you saved the box and all the paperwork for it,” he explained.<\/p>\n

Peter added that with the delicate care for the box and the documents to authenticate the watch, the piece of wristwear would be worth between $65,000 (\u00a351,646) and $75,000 (\u00a359,592) on the market.<\/p>\n

He joked that the money would be “probably more than a month’s pay in the military right now”.<\/p>\n
