Epic X Skeleton in titanium, introduced around 2016 and remaining a core part of the brand’s catalog, represents the manufacturer's shift toward architectural sports watches. Collectors focus on the JCAM02 caliber, a skeletonized manual-wind movement featuring a vertical alignment where the barrel and balance wheel are positioned on a single axis. The 44mm grade 5 titanium case utilizes an \"X\" shaped lug structure that integrates directly into the movement bridges, creating a transparent aesthetic with no traditional dial. On the secondary market, these references typically trade between $12,000 and $18,000 depending on condition and strap configuration. A notable production variant is the \"Racing\" edition, which incorporates perforated rubber straps and color-coded inner rings. While not a limited edition in its standard form, the labor-intensive finishing of the skeletonized bridges limits annual production volumes compared to mass-market luxury sport watches.", "score": 185}, {"slug": "jacob-co-ex300", "brand": "Jacob & Co", "ref": "EX300", "model": "Epic X Chrono (Only Watch 2017)", "case_material": "Black DLC Titanium", "provenance": "extracted_from_auction_comps", "url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/reference/jacob-co-ex300", "description": "The Jacob & Co.

Collectors value this reference for its one-of-one status and its distinct yellow and black color scheme, which differs from standard production models. While standard Epic X Chrono models typically trade between $15,000 and $25,000 on the secondary market, this unique piece sold at the 2017 Christie’s Only Watch auction for 38,000 CHF.

The watch features the manual-wind Calibre RR01, which incorporates a symmetrical architecture, a hacking seconds mechanism, and a zero-reset function. The platinum variant is distinguished by its black grand feu enamel dial with white markings and a 38mm case featuring elongated, soldered lugs. Due to its low production volume and historical significance as the 2018 GPHG Men’s Watch prize winner, secondary market prices typically range from $600,000 to over $900,000. A notable auction result occurred at Phillips in 2023, where a platinum RRCC1 achieved a hammer price of approximately $920,000, reflecting its status as a foundational independent horology piece.", "score": 20}, {"slug": "audemars-piguet-16869", "brand": "Audemars Piguet", "ref": "16869", "model": "Grosse Pièce", "case_material": "18k Yellow Gold", "provenance": "extracted_from_auction_comps", "url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/reference/audemars-piguet-16869", "description": "The Audemars Piguet reference 16869, often referred to as the Grosse Pièce, was produced in the early 1990s as a limited series of approximately 50 units.

This ultra-thin automatic movement features a perpetual calendar with a leap year indicator and a moon phase. The dial typically features a white porcelain-like finish with recessed sub-dials and stick markers.
