Collectors prioritize this reference for its manual-wind Caliber 13BM12, which features a high-efficiency single barrel providing a seven-day power reserve. The 40mm \"writing slope\" case is constructed from Grade 5 titanium, measuring 9.8mm at its thickest point to improve wearability compared to previous Récital models. The dial architecture utilizes an offset sub-dial at 3 o’clock with a circular-brushed finish, exposing the balance wheel and a power reserve indicator. On the secondary market, these timepieces typically trade in the $20,000 to $30,000 range depending on condition. A notable production detail is the inclusion of the patented triple-blade folding clasp, which allows for fine adjustments to the strap length without tools, a feature specific to this contemporary generation of Bovet sports-elegant watches.", "score": 202}, {"slug": "bovet-recital-26", "brand": "Bovet", "ref": "R260008", "model": "Récital 26 Brainstorm", "case_material": "18k Red Gold", "url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/reference/bovet-recital-26", "description": "The Bovet Récital 26 Brainstorm Chapter One, reference R260008 in 18k red gold, was introduced in 2019 as a limited production model. Collectors prioritize this reference for its \"writing slope\" case design, which is tapered to optimize visibility of the movement from multiple angles. It houses the manual-wind caliber 17DM04-SMP, featuring a patented double-face flying tourbillon, a three-dimensional moon phase, a big date, and a ten-day power reserve from a single barrel. The red gold variant typically features a hemispherical dial in blue quartz or green quartz. On the secondary market, this reference generally commands prices in the low-to-mid six-figure range, often between $160,000 and $220,000 depending on condition. While the Chapter One was also produced in sapphire crystal cases, the R260008 is noted for its use of precious metal in the structural frame, a departure from the fully transparent aesthetic of the initial launch.", "score": 87}]}
