I was pretty sure a Connaisseur like you values its beauty and quality.
Here I think people were a little overstrained when it hit the market in approx 2008. Because of the size and its prize. 32‘500.00 CHF is/was a lot of money for a two hands watch. It was not a success at the time, maybe AP was a little ahead again. That mentioned I think more and more collectors are exploring this watch
