Journe Chronomètre Bleu (Reference CB) entered production in 2009 and remains in the current catalog, though annual output is restricted by the difficulty of machining its 39mm tantalum case. Collectors prioritize this reference for its 18k rose gold Calibre 1304 movement and its multi-layered chrome blue lacquer dial, which transitions through various shades depending on light exposure. The use of tantalum, a rare and dense refractory metal with a blue-grey hue, distinguishes it from standard precious metal offerings. On the secondary market, prices typically range from $75,000 to $100,000, representing a significant premium over its retail price. While the standard model features Arabic numerals, early examples are noted for subtle variations in dial printing thickness. In 2019, a unique prototype version featuring a mauve dial sold at auction for 1.8 million CHF, highlighting the reference's high ceiling for rarity."}, "listing_stats": {"count": 5, "median": 269500.0, "low": 70000.0, "high": 479000.0, "brands": 1, "merchants": 1}, "listings": [{"id": "h_7396439818327", "title": "F.P.
