Patek Philippe - 1947 - Reference 1517, 18 kt. yellow gold - Value??
Hello All:
A few years ago I was given a Patek Philippe, which my grandfather left to me when he passed away. My wife sent it to Henri Stern Watch Agency in New York which provided us with the archive information. We also had it sent to the Patek headquarters and for 2,000 had it completely restored to its original condition.
As I stated in my message title. The style has a reference number of 1517 in 18 carat yellow gold. It was manufactured in 1945 and has a leather strap.
Can anybody please point me in the direction to determine the value. I am not interested in selling.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
Sincerely,
Lance
