Rare watches found in Burntwood have sold for more than £30,000 at an auction in Lichfield.

The timepieces were taken to a valuation event in the town’s library held by Richard Winterton Auctioneers.

Four wristwatches belonging to one resident sold for £12,640, while other items found in Burntwood included a collection of important pocket watches, which totalled £7,320, and an 18ct gold and diamond Rolex Day-Date, which fetched £13,400.

The auction house’s associate director Ben Winterton said:

> “We’ve had a wonderful warm welcome for our valuations in Burntwood and made lots of new friends since starting in August.  
>  
> “It’s been brilliant to achieve such fantastic results for our customers in our latest sale.  
>  
> “We still have two more valuation events at the library before Christmas on 13th and 20th December – as the latest results show, you just never know what treasures are out there.  
>  
> “So if you have a watch or jewellery requiring a valuation, do pop in and see us and we’ll discover if you’re sitting on some real-life hidden treasure.”

> Ben Winterton

Among the rare watches uncovered in Burntwood included a Jaeger-LeCoultre Mark XI ‘White 12’ RAF pilot’s watch, which sold for £5,600, a 1969 Omega Seamaster ‘bullhead’ chronograph that fetched £4,200, and a Breitling Navitimer 806 – the model seen worn by the ill-fated Major Duval in the 1965 James Bond classic Thunderball – which went for £2,200.
