Collectors prioritize this reference for its A.296 self-winding movement and the distinctive \"Explorer-style\" 3-6-9 Arabic numeral dial, a feature rarely seen on later Submariner models. The 6200 features a thicker case than its contemporaries to accommodate the movement and provide a 200-meter depth rating. Due to its limited production run, estimated at approximately 300 units, the reference occupies the high-six-figure price bracket on the secondary market. A notable auction result occurred in 2017 when a well-preserved example sold for over $500,000. Evaluation focuses on the presence of the original \"Long 5\" bezel insert and the gilt printing on the dial, as these components significantly impact the valuation of this specific reference.", "score": 199}]}
