Collectors prioritize this reference for its unique Calibre 2923 movement, which features a world-first mechanical complication: a double-chronograph system capable of measuring consecutive lap times with a single flyback and restart function. The 44mm case is constructed from forged carbon with a titanium bezel and caseback, housing a skeletonized dial that reveals the column-wheel mechanisms. This model represents a five-year collaboration between the manufacturer and the Formula 1 driver. On the secondary market, this reference typically commands prices in the mid-to-high six-figure range, often between $600,000 and $850,000 depending on condition. A notable auction result occurred in 2022 when a well-preserved example sold for approximately $750,000, reflecting its rarity and technical complexity."}, "listing_stats": {"count": 0, "median": 0, "low": 0, "high": 0}, "listings": [], "auction_lots": [{"slug": "audemars-piguet-26221ft-2025", "brand": "Audemars Piguet", "reference": "26221FT", "model": "Royal Oak Concept Laptimer Michael Schumacher", "case_material": "Forged Carbon and Titanium", "hammer_usd": 130000, "year_sold": 2025, "venue": "Bonhams Hong Kong", "lot_summary": "A highly technical racing chronograph designed for Michael Schumacher, featuring a unique laptimer function and forged carbon case.", "source_url": "https://www.bonhams.com/press_release/38401/", "provenance": "ai_generated_grounded", "url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/auctions/audemars-piguet-26221ft-2025"}]}
