GUEST: This was my uncle's mother's watch, and I inherited it, and it was stored away for the last 14 years. Just before the Roadshow, I said, "I wonder what's in that box," and we picked this out, and there was actually four watches. This is the one that I picked.
APPRAISER: This watch was made during the middle of the 18th century, and it would have been a French maker. The watch itself is made of gold, and the stones that you have around it, those are not diamonds, but actually colorless sapphires.
GUEST: Really?
APPRAISER: What you would have powering this watch is a mechanical movement, they call it a fusee movement. This is a chain-driven watch. It's really a neat piece of mechanics that you have here.
GUEST: Wow.
APPRAISER: In auction, an item like this would sell for around $1,500 to $2,000, estimate. What you have here, though, is you have a little bit of something extra. You have this key that with these types of watches, you never see them, they're always lost. It has a nice piece of quartz in it. The key itself adds about $500 to your item.
GUEST: Wow.
APPRAISER: So auction estimate, you would really have $2,000 to $2,500 altogether.
GUEST: Wow, that's great.
