A broken watch bought at a car boot sale for just £10 has sold for more than £55,000 at a Cheshire auctioneers after it turned out to be a rare Rolex issued to Italian navy divers in the Second World War. The timepiece was found by a Cheshire man in a chest of drawers while he was clearing out his late father's house. He was so shocked by the result he had to be told the final sale price three times by the auctioneer - as he had expected the antique to sell for around £500.
