Don't have the details at my fingertips, but a wristwatch by Audemars Piguet was valued at £50k about 25 years ago and sold later for circa £55k. Several pocket watches have been valued at £20k plus. Problem is that the show has been going for 35 years, and the current press people were not around that long ago. More accurate claim might be the most valuable ladies wrist watch, which is a bit of a "hair splitter" as a claim!
