Hublot's Tactic With The Blackeyed Bernie Ecclestone Watch Ad

Curious to see other people's experience here.

Need info about my patek
I am new to this site and am hoping to find help with a Patek Philippe 2526 I have which has been in my safety deposit box for years. It is a GUBELIN model in 18kt gold with a solid 18kt gold bracelet band. Years ago I had it authenticated and when inspected the jeweler showed me the gold ingot on a track which rotates to automatically wind the watch. I am now getting on in my years and am considering selling it but am by far no expert or collector just have a few watches I put away years ago. I also have a rolex submariner 18kt gold with a 18 kt gold diver band which I will be asking for help on the rolex thread.All info would be gratefully appreciated and I will attempt to upload pictures if I am allowed due to my being new to this blog.Thanks to all.Larry (bullstone) Stone
