I’ve been clearing my old man’s house out recently, and I found this, in an ornate box. I’m no expert, but it weighs a ton, and looks expensive. Has anyone got any idea what it is?

Nope that was a Harrison sea clock. I know what those are.

Do you have a photo, or do we have to work from your crayon drawing?

Modern repro or antique and worth zillions we can't tell from one photo at a resolution of one pixel per inch.

Sorry about that, my phone’s a bit st. I’ll go back over the weekend and take better photos. It’s a Patek Philippe, as far as I can tell, I know they make pricey watches, but I’ve not seen this one as far as I remember.

A genuine Patek moonphase has to be well in 5 figures.

That has to be a repro. I’ve been flooded with emails from all corners of the globe. It’s a “graves supercomplication” apparently. I know nothing about ‘timepieces’ but this is mental. There’s no way this is the real deal.

The watch in the photo you posted is the real deal but you've never seen it.

It's a photograph from the internet and not your "dads" watch.
