Designed by Jörg Hysek, this \"Jumbo\" model features a 37mm monobloc tonneau case with a distinctive notched bezel and a Maltese cross inlay at the five o'clock position. It is powered by the ultra-thin caliber 1121, derived from the Jaeger-LeCoultre 920. Collectors value the steel 44018 for its rarity, as only approximately 500 units were manufactured in this metal out of a total production run of roughly 700 Jumbo pieces. On the secondary market, prices typically fall within the $70,000 to $120,000 range depending on condition and provenance. A notable auction result occurred in 2023 when a well-preserved example reached approximately $160,000, reflecting increased demand following the 2022 release of the modern yellow gold reissue.", "score": 200}]}
