Patek has probably made a mistake with the reference number in the extract, it shold be 1480 NOT 1486.
Ref. 1480

I'm going to say around $6000-7000. Try antiquorum.com and see if you can't find the same reference in their past auctions.

Patek is down 20-30% from it's highs of 2008, I'm not sure. I certainly don't think I could sell it for that mch in today's market.
