Lange & Söhne 1815 Chronograph reference 414.049 is a unique piece produced in 2022 specifically for the winner of the \"Best of Show\" award at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este. This 39.5mm 18k white gold timepiece features a solid pink gold dial with a hand-engraved hinged cuvette depicting the Concorso d’Eleganza coat of arms. It is powered by the manual-wind caliber L951.5, which includes a column-wheel control, a flyback function, and a 60-hour power reserve. Unlike standard production 1815 models, this reference was never available for retail purchase, making it a one-of-one edition. While standard 1815 chronographs trade between $50,000 and $70,000, this specific commemorative piece is valued significantly higher due to its unique provenance and configuration. Although it has not appeared at public auction recently, its rarity places its estimated secondary market value in the mid-to-high six-figure range.", "score": 198}, {"slug": "universal-gen-ve-124146-4", "brand": "Universal Genève", "ref": "124146-4", "model": "Medico-Compax", "case_material": "18k Rose Gold", "provenance": "extracted_from_auction_comps", "url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/reference/universal-gen-ve-124146-4", "description": "The Universal Genève Medico-Compax reference 124146-4 was produced during the 1950s and is no longer in production. Collectors target this reference for its 37mm 18k rose gold case and the caliber 285 manual-wind chronograph movement. The dial is defined by a pulsometer scale calibrated for 15 pulsations, a feature designed for medical professionals to calculate heart rates. This specific reference is noted for its larger case diameter compared to earlier 33mm or 35mm versions, increasing its contemporary wearability. On the secondary market, these watches typically command prices between $8,000 and $15,000 depending on the preservation of the dial and the sharpness of the gold hallmarks. A notable auction result occurred at Phillips in 2016, where a well-preserved example achieved approximately $18,000. Rarity is driven by the limited survival of original, non-refinished medical dials paired with the precious metal case.", "score": 83}]}
