It is the first diving watch to incorporate an alarm function, utilizing the caliber 815 bumper automatic movement. Collectors distinguish between two primary dial variations: the \"LeCoultre\" signed version intended for the American market and the \"Jaeger-LeCoultre\" version for the European market. The 39.5mm stainless steel case features a non-rotating bezel and a 100-meter depth rating. Due to its limited production and historical significance as a pioneering alarm diver, the E857 currently commands prices between $35,000 and $60,000 on the secondary market, depending on condition and dial originality. A notable auction result occurred in 2021 when a well-preserved European-dial example sold for over $70,000. Many surviving examples exhibit significant bezel wear, making original, intact inserts a primary value driver."}, "listing_stats": {"count": 13, "median": 7300.0, "low": 3450.0, "high": 28500.0,
