Another Antiques Roadshow Find

Tonight’s newest episode (at least in my PBS network) will feature a 1949 Ref. 4500 Rolex Chrono - who wants to guess it’s value?

It is from Tulsa OK Philbrook Museum. Series 23 / Episode 10

This episode hasn’t aired here yet so have no idea what condition it might be.

I’ve seen them from $40K to $75K without any uplift by a celebrity’s ownership.

I’m gonna guess $70K if it looks like this one...

Thanks for the heads up I'm definitely going to watch. One of my favorite watch related clips of all time was that 6542 brought onto the show.

Thanks!

Show didn’t start until 9pm here so haven’t seen the segment yet.

That is a different style than I’ve usually seen.

Just saw the segment.

...and, wait for it...

“...if you had the original box and the original paperwork with it, that would probably add $20,000 to the watch.”
