Collectors prioritize this reference for its patented floating lugs, which pivot to conform to the wrist, and the caliber DB2115 movement featuring a silicon/white gold balance wheel and a triple pare-chute shock-absorbing system. The dial is characterized by a spherical moon-phase indicator at six o'clock, accurate to one day every 122 years, and a hand-polished grade 5 titanium finish. On the secondary market, these timepieces typically trade between $85,000 and $115,000 depending on condition and provenance. A notable milestone for the series occurred in 2011 when the DB28 won the Aiguille d’Or at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève, establishing its technical significance.", "score": 199}]}
