A Rolex watch going on sale in Birmingham, UK, later this month could sell for as much as £15,000.

The staggering amount is the top value placed on it by auctioneers Fellows & Sons.

It's one of 472 items for sale in a specialist wrist and pocket watches sale on Monday 22 October, starting at 11am.

"This is a truly beautiful watch," said Fellows & Sons managing partner Stephen Whittaker.

"There is a good reason some Rolex's can sell for such high amounts, and that is the sheer quality and beauty of them.

"There are very few men who would not appreciate placing this onto their wrist every morning."

The watch has been valued at between £10,000 and £15,000.

It is a gentleman's platinum Oyster Perpetual Day-Date automatic chronometer wrist watch, with a silver blue dial and raised Roman numerals.

The watch displays the day in the 12 o'clock position and the date in the 3 o'clock position.

It has a domed bezel and president bracelet, and comes with its presentation box, booklet and spare link.
