My best guess (and prob not a good one at that is in the neighborhood of 400-500 but Marcello Pisani will probably know best or Mike Wood, Jedly1, etc.

I think "circulation" would need better definition, for you could mean :
How many were made ? How many survive in original configuration of each type ? How many genuine ones are available at any given time on the market ? How many have crossed the path of those who follow them in the last decade ? Do you include the ones in private collections like my own ? For what it is worth, I think you will find the total number is significantly higher than stated above, but the fun comes in trying to identify the numbers / specifics / variations of each type and then finding / acquiring what you want. Values vary tremendously from the rarest and best to the more common or less close to perfect examples. Interesting topic, but a brief answer would always be an incomplete answer. With kind regards, Haywood Milton, UK

some production comparisons :
1) 6542 ( estimated ) = around 2000 in steel and 500 in gold ; 2) 6240 = ( 100 % certain number ) around 1700 3) 6239 ( steel only ) = around 15.000 ( !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ) ( also this is a certain number ). |

Early 1665 every time, with 600m dial...but you'll need deeper pockets than for the 16600 !

Marcello, would you know how many was produced for 1675 PCG after 6542 ? With ! Dial Thanks in advance 👹👹👹 +1 Most collectors would get a heart attack by washing it under a tap? Most of us will know one dude will swim with a 600m in the pool 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 ♛lunetteverde@Instagram♛ |
