Collectors target this reference for the Calibre PF255, a manual-wind movement featuring a four-gong carillon chime that plays the Westminster Quarters melody. The 40mm to 42mm case utilizes the signature Toric aesthetic with hand-knurled double bezels and a stepped profile inspired by Greek columns. Dials are typically finished with hand-guilloché patterns or grand feu enamel. Due to the complexity of the carillon strike, production was limited to very few pieces annually. On the secondary market, these timepieces generally command prices in the mid-to-high six-figure range. A notable 18k white gold example featuring a blue enamel dial and integrated bracelet achieved a sale price of approximately $350,000 at auction, reflecting its rarity.", "score": 199}]}
