1957 Oyster Perpetual - looking to determine value

Hi there,

I'm a newbie and am checking on the provenance on my father's watch as well as trying to get a sense of the value of the watch.

I have the watch stating purchase location and date as well as a number XXXXX of YYYYYY. There are few markings on the watch itself - dark face, gold outer rim, gold hands and time markers - no date.

How can I determine the authenticity and value of the watch?

Many thanks,

LC Anuck
