Have you done a search online?

 

Yes, but with the limited information I have I haven't been able to discover anything.
Since the aunt in question has passed away I can't find out any background either

 

Based on my experience paying jewelry appraisers in the task of closing estates, watches such as these (with little or no market value) have very little cash value. If the case is 14K, that's not much gold left after it's rendered.

Best of luck doing your research. Perhaps contact a qualified appraiser.

 

Apart from the fact that value inquiries are not welcome here: Apart from the gold value for the few grams of case and a possible emotional value, the watch is worth nothing.

 

Agree. Contact someone who can appraise this correctly.

 

I couldn't find any info on it either. Old German company. Good Luck, I would be surprised if its worth much though. If it were me I would value it for sentimental reasons and the memories of a lost loved one.

 

None of us are appraisers and as someone said "what is this worth" posts are generally frowned upon here on WUS. it would be best if you go see a proper appraiser. good luck!

 

Anker is not a much sought after brand ... besides sentimental value, the value is most likely just the gold content.

And as mentioned by others, if you want a better valuation, since it's not a relatively known brand, a jeweler who deals with gold might be a better option.

If going to a jeweler is not an option. Looking at eBay listing can be an option, though it's not completely accurate as seller's asking price can be different than actual market value.

You can search up "14k gold cocktail watch", look at the ones with lesser known brands as having a popular brand name does make a huge difference.

 

Thank you to those who took the trouble to reply.
My query was just in case there was something interesting or rare about this watch from a manufacturer I had never heard of.
My curiosity is now satisfied, so thank you.

 

Not worth a dime unfortunately. I have a Ladies cocktail watch with Platinum case & 14 diamonds from the 1920's which is just sitting in my drawer because no one wants it!
