€5,099.00
This one is a bit of a boring limited edition, one that collectors only recognize thanks to the specially engraved case back. The rest of the watch was similar to the reference 3570.50 that was in production at the time. This 1999 Speedmaster Apollo XI model had reference 3560.50, and it was a limited edition of 9999 pieces.
In the past, I have called it a stealth Speedmaster Professional limited edition, as it goes easily unnoticed until you see the case back. This watch came in a black leather box with a certificate of authenticity. The case back features the quote, “Hello Houston, tranquillity base here. The Eagle has landed.” These famous words were spoken by Neil Armstrong. Below the quote are the exact date and time of the landing as well as the unique number of the watch. In the center, is the Apollo XI mission-patch medallion. This reference 3560.50 came with the then-standard bracelet reference 1498. This watch was the first of the Apollo XI anniversary editions to use the caliber 1861.
