Hi Satya,

You have to use apex:actionPoller component to run a server-side code piece executed on a specific time interval (probably every 5 seconds).

When your workflow updated the required field, your apex:actionPoller will automatically refresh the page.

Your code will look like this. 
<!--  Page -->
			
<apex:page controller="myController">
    <apex:form>
        <apex:actionPoller action="{!watchWorkflowUpdate}" interval="15"/>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>
			
			
/***  Controller: ***/
			
public class myController {
    		
    public PageReference watchWorkflowUpdate() {
		if(true){
			return new PageReference("YOUR_VF_PAGE_WITH_PROPERQUERYSTRING")
		}
		else{
			return null;
		}
    }
			
}
Hope this helps.

If it is a standard opportunity page and you have written a workflow rule for field update then after clicking on save button u will be able to see all the changes there is no need to refresh the page.

If you are triggering the workflow on click of a button in the Page Layout, it will automatically refresh.

However, if the workflow is independent of the page layout you are in (for example, time bound), you have to have a small VF component added in your page layout with the above code.

This VF component will take care of the auto refresh, once you add the right condition.
