Heuer Ref. 12 - Market value?

I've become enamored with the Ref.12 and have started to seek one out, but I don't know what the current market value is for the model. Does anyone have an idea what I should expect to pay for one in excellent condition? I'm also curious why the OTD reference table lists these in the 'French made' category. The pictures I've seen of the watch shows 'Swiss Made' on the dial.

On a related note, I've seen the Le Jour version and it might be a decent alternative. I hear conflicting information as to whether or not these were truly made by Heuer. Is current thinking that they were in fact Heuer manufactured?

Thanks in advance!
