The Antiques Roadshow crowd gasped as an expert revealed the staggering value of an "unusual piece". A recent episode of the hit BBC programme, which aired on September 28, took place at Lister Park and Cartwright Hall in Bradford, where locals arrived to have their antiques and fine arts appraised by experts.

During the instalment, horologist Richard Price was presented with a 1970s Patek Philippe watch. "A lovely box with the unmistakable logo of Patek Philippe. To my mind, the very best watchmaker over the last one hundred years or so," he said. The guest explained that the watch was a wedding gift from her mother, who had owned the item for many years.
