Unlike the standard reference 5513, the 5514 features a built-in helium escape valve on the left side of the stainless steel case, a technical requirement for saturation diving. It utilizes the caliber 1570 non-date movement. Collectors value this reference because it was never available for public retail, making it a purpose-built tool watch with a documented professional provenance. Most examples feature a COMEX-branded logo on the dial and a unique serial number engraved on the caseback. On the secondary market, these watches typically command prices in the low-to-mid six-figure range, depending on condition and service history. A notable production detail is that early versions were delivered with \"Pre-Comex\" dials, which lacked the company logo despite having the specialized case construction."}, "listing_stats":
