Collectors prioritize this reference for its use of the ETA caliber 2776, a non-date automatic movement, and its association with the \"Snowflake\" dial and handset configuration. The model features a 40mm stainless steel Oyster case with a friction-fit bidirectional bezel and a screw-down crown. It is historically significant due to its long-term issuance to the French Marine Nationale (MN), with many examples featuring military engravings on the caseback. On the secondary market, standard civilian versions typically range from $12,000 to $20,000, while confirmed military-issued examples can exceed $35,000. A notable production variant is the transition from the \"Snowflake\" aesthetic to triangular hour markers and Mercedes hands in the mid-1980s, which occurred shortly before the reference was succeeded by the 79090.", "score": 199}, {"slug": "tudor-94010", "brand": "Tudor", "ref": "94010", "model": "Submariner", "case_material": "Stainless Steel", "provenance": "extracted_from_auction_comps", "url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/reference/tudor-94010", "description": "The Tudor Submariner reference 94010 was produced from approximately 1975 through the mid-1980s, replacing the earlier 7016 and 7021 references. Collectors prioritize this model for its transition to the ETA 2776 movement, which lacks a date function, providing a symmetrical dial layout. The reference is notable for its use of both \"Snowflake\" hands and markers and the later transition back to triangular and round \"Mercedes\" style configurations. Its 40mm stainless steel Oyster case and 200-meter depth rating align with its history as a standard-issue timepiece for the French Marine Nationale. On the secondary market, prices typically range from $12,000 to $25,000 depending on provenance and condition. A significant variant includes the \"M.N.\" engraved versions issued to the French Navy, which frequently command higher premiums at auction due to their documented military service history.", "score": 84}, {"slug": "panerai-pam00659", "brand": "Panerai", "ref": "PAM00659", "model": "Radiomir 1940 10 Days GMT", "case_material": "18k Red Gold", "provenance": "extracted_from_auction_comps", "url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/reference/panerai-pam00659", "description": "The Panerai Radiomir 1940 10 Days GMT PAM00659 was introduced around 2016 as a high-complication precious metal offering and is no longer in active production. Collectors target this reference for its 45mm case crafted in 18k 5Npt red gold, a proprietary alloy with a high copper content and a hint of platinum to prevent oxidation. It houses the in-house P.2003/10 caliber, a skeletonized automatic movement featuring three spring barrels providing a ten-day power reserve, a GMT function with an AM/PM indicator, and a linear power reserve display. The blue sun-brushed dial with sandwich construction distinguishes it from standard black-dialed models. On the secondary market, this reference typically trades between $22,000 and $28,000 depending on the presence of original box and papers. A notable production detail is the sapphire caseback, which showcases the intricate circular graining and skeletonization unique to the \"10\" series movements.", "score": 72}]}
