It still commands good prices today ...

... last time I noticed one being sold at Ebay, it went for 1,500 Euros. The condition was worse than the piece shown by Hertie above. However, today, a similar case construction would cost a substantial sum, and for the 4,500 Euros, such a watch would be probably priced today, I doubt it would find enough buyers to make its production a good business.
Regards,
Marcus
