Known to collectors as the Big Crown, it is the first Tudor diver to feature a 200-meter depth rating, achieved through a thickened 37mm steel case and an oversized 8mm screw-down crown without guards. The model utilizes the self-winding Fleurier caliber 390 movement. Collectors prioritize this reference for its historical position as the most robust early Tudor Submariner and its aesthetic similarities to the Rolex 6538. Original examples feature gilt-track dials and red-triangle bezel inserts. Due to its limited production run and rarity, prices on the secondary market typically range from $100,000 to over $200,000 depending on condition. A notable auction result occurred in 2023 when a well-preserved example sold for approximately $180,000, reflecting the high demand for original tropical dials."}, "listing_stats": {"count": 1, "median": 8950.0, "low": 8950.0, "high": 8950.0, "brands": 1, "merchants": 1}, "listings": [{"id": "h_8240926261427", "title": "Tudor Tudor Black Bay 58 \"Pirate\" Apple Employee Edition (Pre-owned)", "brand": "Tudor", "model": "Tudor Black Bay 58 \"Pirate\" Apple Employee Edition (Pre-owned)", "reference": "—", "price_usd": 8950.0, "currency": "USD", "condition": "excellent", "box_papers": "full_set", "year": null, "case_material": "Stainless Steel", "case_size_mm": 40.0, "movement": "Automatic", "complications": [], "merchant_slug": "collective-horology", "merchant_name": "Collective Horology", "image_url": "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0559/0623/8643/files/P4244762.jpg?v=1745548212", "detail_url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/listing/h_8240926261427", "buy_url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/out/h_8240926261427", "available": false}], "auction_lots": [{"slug": "tudor-7924-big-crown-submariner", "brand": "Tudor", "reference": "7924", "model": "Oyster Prince Submariner", "case_material": "Stainless Steel", "hammer_usd": 162500, "year_sold": 2017, "venue": "Phillips Geneva", "lot_summary": "The most famous vintage Tudor, the 7924 'Big Crown' was the brand's answer to the Rolex 6200.
