What affects the price
Condition. Here is how condition splits the sales we have (a grade with too few sales shows no range):
- Unworn: $37,000–$50,100.
- Excellent: not enough market data yet.
- Good: not enough market data yet.
- Fair: not enough market data yet.
Dial. Expect buyers to compare the dial with the recorded one (ice blue, guilloché) and to ask whether it has ever been replaced or restored.
Case condition. A precious-metal case is soft compared with steel, so dents and over-polishing show; a case that keeps its original lines is easier to sell.
Service history. Paperwork showing when the calibre 7140 was last serviced, and what was replaced, gives buyers confidence.
Fluted bezel. Flattened or dented ridges on a fluted bezel are hard to restore; the catalog gives this one as fluted, 950 platinum, polished.
Box and papers. Buyers ask for the original box and papers first; keep them together with the watch.
Warranty card. For a current reference, the date on the warranty card tells buyers how old the watch is.
List price. €32,700 (retail list price in France per 41watch and Monochrome Watches, January 2026).
Recent movement. Once there is enough sale history, this shows how prices have moved over the past year.
Tips for buyers
- Make sure the papers name reference 52506 and that the case measures 39 mm.
- Pay in a traceable way, and have the watch checked before any return window closes.
- Ask the seller how long they have had the watch and why they are selling.
- Check the date on the warranty card and whether any warranty period is left.
- Inspect the bezel closely; it should be fluted, 950 platinum, polished.
- Ask when the calibre 7140 was last serviced, and by whom.
Tips for sellers
- Collect the box, papers and any service records before you ask for offers.
- Don't polish the case before selling.
- Take clear daylight photos of the dial, case, bezel and bracelet.
- Compare each offer with the sold results summarised above.
