Individual timed appointments will be in accordance with ongoing Covid-19 advice, with people requested to wear face coverings and use hand sanitiser.
“Demand is stronger than ever so it’s a fantastic time to seek professional advice and find out what those hidden treasures could really be worth at auction,” said Richard Winterton.
This British military Omega Seamaster 300 dating back to 1968 was identified by Richard Winterton Auctioneers during a routine valuation on behalf of a Lichfield client. Albeit missing its bezel, the watch proved to be one of the most sought-after vintage Omegas on the market – it sold to a client in Hong Kong for £25,000 following a global bidding battle.
“Everyone dreams of discovering a surprise windfall and we’re looking forward to helping make more dreams come true.”
People are asked to book in advance by calling Richard Winterton Auctioneers on 01543 251081 or emailing office@richardwinterton.co.uk.
