One attacker pinned him down to the ground while the others searched his home, Derbyshire Police said.
They made off with a cream and yellow round-faced Longines gold men’s watch, a white-faced silver Omega men’s watch, and two gold men’s rings.
The gang also took a gold sovereign ring, a gold chain, and some cash.
Graphic photographs show the horrific injuries the victim suffered, which included a bloodied nose, bruised eyes, cuts to his face and neck, and cuts to his hands.
He was attacked at around 6.30pm on Saturday at his home on Sheffield Road in Creswell, Derbyshire.

The other men were white, in their 20s, stocky and shorter than the first man.
