This reference is not in production and only one example exists. Collectors value the watch for its distinct aesthetic treatment, featuring a 41mm case, bracelet, and bezel aged through a secret chemical process to mimic decades of wear. It contains the manufacture caliber MT5652, a COSC-certified GMT movement with a Master Chronometer certification from METAS, marking the first time this standard was applied to a Tudor GMT. The matte black dial and hands also feature an aged finish to match the exterior. While there are no secondary market listings due to its unique status, it sold at auction in November 2021 for 650,000 CHF, roughly 100 times its retail estimate. This result remains one of the highest prices ever paid for a Tudor timepiece.", "score": 199}, {"slug": "tudor-m7983", "brand": "Tudor", "ref": "M7983", "model": "Black Bay GMT One", "case_material": "Stainless Steel", "provenance": "extracted_from_auction_comps", "url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/reference/tudor-m7983", "description": "The Tudor Black Bay GMT reference M79830RB entered production in 2018 and remains a staple in the current catalog. Collectors value this model for its COSC-certified manufacture caliber MT5652, which features a jumping local hour hand for true GMT functionality. The 41mm stainless steel case houses a matte black dial and a bidirectional rotating bezel with a burgundy and blue anodized aluminum insert, often referred to as the \"Pepsi\" configuration. While early production units were known for a date-wheel complication issue, later iterations corrected this mechanical flaw. On the secondary market, this reference typically trades between $2,800 and $3,600 depending on the bracelet type and condition. A notable variant is the \"Opaline\" dial version introduced in 2023, which features a silvery-white finish instead of the standard black, though the stainless steel construction and internal specifications remain identical.", "score": 84}]}
