Antiques Roadshow expert Richard Price was left issuing a warning to a guest over the true value of a gold pocket watch which was gifted to him by a family friend.
An Antiques Roadshow guest was gobsmacked after an expert issued an eye-watering £10,000 valuation of his intricate gold watch - but followed it up with a warning.
The owner shared the backstory of the watch, explaining, "It was a gift by a Spanish lady, a friend to the family, one day she said, 'I got no one to leave it to. You have it." To which Richard responded, "Well, what a lucky couple you are. Absolutely typical for the Spanish market, beautiful dials, it's 18 karat gold, dating from the 1860s. Now, do you remember anything special about this watch when it was given to you? ".
They added: "The top of this watch has a knurled pendant as if it was a keyless waiting watch but we know that it's key wound, so that serves another function.
