My grandfather has given me this watch to sell for him and he also doesn't know very much about it. Heres some photos let me know any information you know about it. All we know is that its a 18k solid gold watch.

I'm not sure of the reference number, but it is a Cellini model from the early- to mid-70's. Manual wind. You may want to post a pic in the "vintage" section for others to weigh in.

I have not much to say about the Cellini line only that they are mainly dress type watches now 18kt gold looks more 1980s.But the Cellini line is not so popular today as the Rolex oyster cased models especially the sports type watches and DJ.They use the manual wind Cal 1601 in most mens models this is fine accurate very thin rhodium-plated movement.Its a 20 jewels with lever escapement plus mono-metallic balance shock absorber,plus a self-compensating flat balance spring, instead of the Brequet type over coil balance spring in the oyster watches.As for model not sure but because of gold prices today most of its value would be in the gold content plus around 15% for the name on the dial.
