Collectors prioritize this reference for its ultra-thin profile, measuring 5.25mm in thickness, which was achieved using the 13-ligne Calibre 17''' movement. The 18k pink gold variant features a 36mm three-body case with teardrop lugs and a champagne or silvered dial often characterized by applied gold Roman numerals and a peripheral track. Due to its technical complexity and limited mid-century production run, the 4261 is considered a foundational piece in the brand's chiming watch history. On the secondary market, these timepieces typically command prices in the mid-to-high six-figure range. A notable auction result occurred in 2016 when a pink gold example with a sector dial sold for over $600,000, reflecting the premium placed on original dial configurations."}, "listing_stats": {"count": 7, "median": 319620.0, "low": 251765.0, "high": 426435.0, "brands": 1, "merchants": 1}, "listings": [{"id": "h_8029562995010", "title": "Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Minute Repeater Tourbillon Ref. # 6500T/000P-9949", "brand": "Vacheron Constantin", "model": "Traditionnelle Minute Repeater Tourbillon Ref. # 6500T/000P-9949", "reference": "6500T/000P-9949", "price_usd": 426435.0, "currency": "USD", "condition": "excellent", "box_papers": "full_set", "year": null, "case_material": "Platinum", "case_size_mm": 44.0, "movement": "Automatic", "complications": ["Tourbillon", "Minute Repeater"], "merchant_slug": "watch-affinity", "merchant_name": "Watch-Affinity", "image_url": "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0683/2449/1586/products/vacheron-constantin-traditionnelle-minute-repeater-tourbillon-ref-6500t000p-9949-luxury-887_2048x_cdc73c5d-5c0d-4b3c-ac11-535ba23e6d1d.jpg?v=1669757546", "detail_url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/listing/h_8029562995010", "buy_url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/out/h_8029562995010", "available": false}, {"id": "h_8029558309186", "title": "Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Minute Repeater Tourbillon Ref. # 6500T/000P-B100", "brand": "Vacheron Constantin", "model": "Traditionnelle Minute Repeater Tourbillon Ref. # 6500T/000P-B100", "reference": "6500T/000P-", "price_usd": 426435.0, "currency": "USD", "condition": "excellent", "box_papers": "full_set", "year": null, "case_material": "Platinum", "case_size_mm": 44.0, "movement": "Automatic", "complications": ["Tourbillon", "Minute Repeater"], "merchant_slug": "watch-affinity", "merchant_name": "Watch-Affinity", "image_url": "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0683/2449/1586/products/vacheron-constantin-traditionnelle-minute-repeater-tourbillon-ref-6500t000p-b100-luxury-686_2048x_30eea183-dfc7-4f66-8b95-5fde907afc0d.jpg?v=1669757496", "detail_url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/listing/h_8029558309186", "buy_url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/out/h_8029558309186", "available": false}, {"id": "h_8029594386754", "title": "Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Minute Repeater Tourbillon Ref. # 6500T/000R-B324", "brand": "Vacheron Constantin", "model": "Traditionnelle Minute Repeater Tourbillon Ref. # 6500T/000R-B324", "reference": "6500T/000R-", "price_usd": 382155.0, "currency": "USD", "condition": "excellent", "box_papers": "full_set", "year": null, "case_material": "18k Rose Gold", "case_size_mm": 44.0, "movement": "Automatic", "complications": ["Tourbillon", "Minute Repeater"], "merchant_slug": "watch-affinity", "merchant_name": "Watch-Affinity", "image_url": "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0683/2449/1586/products/vacheron-constantin-traditionnelle-minute-repeater-tourbillon-ref-6500t000r-b324-luxury-844_2048x_e22a9527-5d89-4591-91dc-288745e9fd25.jpg?v=1669757854", "detail_url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/listing/h_8029594386754", "buy_url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/out/h_8029594386754", "available": false}, {"id": "h_8029579018562", "title": "Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Minute Repeater Ultra-Thin -
