Collectors value this reference for its integration of the Calibre 975, an automatic movement developed with a focus on durability and precision, featuring a ceramic ball-bearing rotor and a variable inertia balance. The 40mm case is constructed from 18k rose gold, housing a silvered dial that displays a second time zone via a skeletonized GMT hand, a dedicated day/night indicator at 12 o'clock, and a small seconds subdial at 6 o'clock. On the secondary market, this gold reference typically trades between $9,000 and $13,000 depending on condition and the presence of original documentation. A notable production detail is the \"Autotract\" movement design, which was specifically engineered to simplify servicing while maintaining high shock resistance, marking a significant technical shift for the Master Control line during that era.", "score": 198}, {"slug": "breguet-1747ba", "brand": "Breguet", "ref": "1747BA", "model": "Classique Regulator 1747", "case_material": "18k Yellow Gold", "provenance": "extracted_from_auction_comps", "url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/reference/breguet-1747ba", "description": "The Breguet Classique Regulator reference 1747BA was produced during the late 1990s and early 2000s to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Abraham-Louis Breguet’s birth. This 36mm 18k yellow gold timepiece is valued for its regulator-style display, which separates the hours into a subdial at 12 o’clock while the central hand tracks minutes, mimicking historical precision clocks. It features a solid gold, hand-guilloché dial and the automatic Caliber 591, a movement based on a Lemania 8810 ebauche. The case incorporates signature brand elements including a coin-edged midcase and soldered straight lugs. On the secondary market, this reference typically trades between $12,000 and $18,000 depending on condition and the presence of original documentation. While the yellow gold 1747BA is the most common iteration, a limited series of 300 pieces was produced in platinum (1747PT) for the 1997 anniversary.", "score": 83}]}
