You could order the Auricoste direct via their shop in Paris up until a couple of years ago. I seem to remember they were around 550euro's at that time new.
They show up plenty in France, some with the MN engravings, but as they have real history, they seem to be a bit more expesive (and a lot rarer too).
If you're into them, look into the 'Squale' watches. I think they made the cases for all of them, but am not sure...
