Collectors prioritize this reference due to its oversized dimensions, often measuring approximately 44mm to 52mm in length, which distinguishes it from standard Baignoire models. The watch typically features a manual-wind Jaeger-LeCoultre caliber or a Cartier-signed movement. Key design elements include the elongated oval case, a white or silvered dial with Roman numerals, and \"London\" hallmarks on the case back. Due to limited production numbers during the London era, these pieces are rare. On the secondary market, prices generally range from $40,000 to $80,000, though exceptional examples have reached higher. A notable auction result occurred in 2023 when a 1970s yellow gold Maxi-Oval sold for approximately $110,000, reflecting increased demand for vintage London-era Cartier.", "score": 208}]}
