This 18k yellow gold model is distinguished by its elongated, curved case measuring approximately 26.5mm by 45mm, featuring a mechanical manual-wind movement, typically the Caliber 430MC based on a Piaget ultra-thin ebauche. Collectors prioritize this reference for its classic guilloché dial, Roman numerals, and the \"Paris\" signature found on early CPCP examples. Unlike modern automatic versions, the 1735B maintains a slimmer profile due to its manual caliber. On the secondary market, prices generally range from $8,000 to $13,000 depending on the presence of the original 18k gold bracelet or leather strap with a gold deployant buckle. A notable production detail is the use of a faceted sapphire cabochon on the winding crown, a hallmark of Cartier’s high-end precious metal references.", "score": 200}, {"slug": "blancpain-1735", "brand": "Blancpain", "ref": "1735", "model": "1735 Grande Complication", "case_material": "Platinum", "provenance": "extracted_from_auction_comps", "url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/reference/blancpain-1735", "description": "The Blancpain 1735 Grande Complication was produced between 1991 and approximately 2002 as a limited edition of 30 pieces. Collectors value this reference for its caliber 1735 movement, which integrates a perpetual calendar, moon phase, split-seconds chronograph, tourbillon, and minute repeater. The 42mm case is constructed from platinum and houses 740 individual components within a movement measuring only 11mm in thickness. This reference represents the culmination of Blancpain’s \"six masterpieces\" project initiated after the quartz crisis to demonstrate the viability of mechanical watchmaking. On the secondary market, these timepieces typically command prices in the mid-to-high six-figure range, often appearing between $400,000 and $800,000 depending on provenance. A notable production detail is that each watch required one year of assembly by a single master watchmaker. In 2014, a well-preserved example sold at auction for approximately $470,000, reflecting its status as one of the most complex wristwatches of its era.", "score": 73}]}
