Collectors prioritize this reference for the in-house Caliber 28, which features a direct impulse escapement with two large escape wheels and a balance spring utilizing both Breguet overcoil and Grossmann inner curves. The 39mm platinum case houses a solid silver dial typically decorated with engine-turned guilloché patterns executed in-house. Because these watches are hand-fabricated in low annual volumes, secondary market prices generally range from $150,000 to $250,000 depending on dial configuration and provenance. A notable variant is the Vingt-8 ISO, which utilizes a unique gearing system where the minute hand travels at the same pace as the hour hand relative to each other. Recent auction results for standard platinum models have consistently reached the mid-six-figure range, reflecting the reference's status as the brand's definitive time-only movement.", "score": 186}]}
