Hi,

I have this La Rochette piece inherited from my Grandfather in Poland and am curious on its worth. Thanks so much for your excellent website!!

La Rochette Pocket Watch:

Dimensions: 2 1/4" Diameter
Hunter Case: 14K Gold
Style: Phases De Lune
Functionality: It does wind up and chimes loudly but no movement on the dial.
Piece Details:

Inside Front Case Door: Stamped "bell shaped" emblem with "56" and "14K" on top and "118" serial on bottom

Inside Rear Case Door: Stamped "bell shaped" emblem with "56" and "14K" on top and "75118" serial on bottom

Inside 2nd Rear Case Door: Stamped "bell shaped" emblem with "56" and "14K" on top and "75118" serial on bottom

Front Dial: "La Rochette" is written in the top most dial. Days of Week and Month are surprisingly in Polish: "WTO" is "Wtorek" which is tuesday and "LUT" is "luty" which translates to Febuary. Lunar Phase display in lower area.



Rear Engraving:



No 75118

It's not really an area I am an expert in, but I'll give you a reasonable "range" of $4000 to $6000.
