Dent of London 18K pocket watch

I have an old pocket watch that I found while cleaning out my house. It is marked on the caseback with Dent of London, and a number N14672. It is also marked "cylinder escapement" and "4 Jewels". The inside of the back covered is stamped 18K and again the number 14672. There are no numbers on the movement, and the face appears to be brass or some other such metal. It is key wound and I have pictures if anyone would be willing to check them out. I have tried to research this watch in the library and online but I cannot seem to find anything specific about it or the maker. If anyone knows anything as to the age and possibly value of this watch, their info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
