I seem to recall that the 1158 CHN (first execution) sold for around $35,000 at the Heuer Parade.

This seems generally consistent with the Bonhams 1158 CHN (also first execution), fetching $57,500, on the bracelet. These bracelets are super rare; have a lots of gold; involve a lot of craftsmanship . . . on a head-to-head basis, I'm not sure that the Bonhams result was significantly different than what we saw in the Heuer Parade.

Of course, on these watches, an inspection in-the-metal is essential, to properly value the watches, as the slightest difference in the finish or other details can result in significant discount or premium.
