Sounds like a very fine watch. Values for watches are hard to determine, but I'd strongly suggest you not to sell it, or to try and scrap the gold. You'll regret it.
They don't make watch-cases like this anymore, and should you think you made a mistake in the gold-scrapping, buying another case will cost a LOT.

Hi - do not like to quote values but at 14K solid best to hang onto it with gold rising.
