The item is a gold antique ladies watch on a gold chain with a matching fob. The back of the watch is encrusted with diamonds, rubies and emeralds. I would like to find out some information about the same.

Does anyone know the value?
I'm looking to sale to help with my mother's medical expenses. So a fairly accurate appraisal is needed.
Thank you in advance as any assistance is very appreciated.
