I would GUESS close to half a million dollars?? I would not be surprised if it is between 200 and 500k.

Amazing, huh? This is a new release for Basel 2013 and I don't think a price has been released, but I would think around 340-350 as compared to their other offerings. Quite the bargain when compared to some other haute horologie.
