Collectors prioritize this reference for its oversized 39.5mm to 40mm stainless steel step-bezel case and the caliber 13ZN movement, which features a flyback chronograph complication. This specific model is distinguished by its central minute counter, utilizing two co-axial chronograph hands rather than a traditional sub-dial for minutes. Due to its technical complexity and limited production numbers, the 5699 is considered a high-tier vintage chronograph. On the secondary market, prices typically range from $60,000 to over $120,000 depending on condition and dial configuration. A notable variant includes the \"Sommer\" version, and a well-preserved example achieved a sale price of approximately 162,500 CHF at a 2017 Phillips auction, underscoring its value relative to standard 13ZN references.", "score": 199}]}
