Collectors prioritize this reference for the Calibre RMAL2, which debuts the patented \"butterfly rotor.\" This mechanism allows the wearer to manually shift the geometry of the winding rotor between \"Sport Mode\" and \"Normal Mode\" via a pusher at 7 o'clock, preventing overwinding during high-impact activities. The 43.15mm case is constructed from layered Blue and White Quartz TPT, a signature material known for its durability and unique striations. On the secondary market, this reference typically trades between $450,000 and $550,000. While not a limited edition by number, production is restricted by manufacturing complexity. A notable variant is the White Quartz and Carbon TPT version, which shares the same technical specifications but offers a different aesthetic profile."}, "listing_stats": {"count": 0, "median": 0, "low": 0, "high": 0}, "listings": [], "auction_lots": []}
