Reference:6538: Difference between revisions

Line 188:

The Christie's June 2018 USD 1,068,500 result for the Explorer-dial red-depth 6538 is the public record price ceiling and shows dial rarity plus original-owner provenance rather than any direct Bond link. The Phillips USD 567,000 four-line is the canonical four-line OCC benchmark. Tropical four-line examples in clean condition trade at the upper-middle of the market alongside Bond-era two-line gilts in original condition. The 6538 holds its market position across both dial configurations — condition, dial character, and presence of original components drive the spread far more than sub-variant rarity does.
