Yes, it was quite shocking to see that when I got it appraised. I have the original paperwork and it was bought at Brinkhaus for $19k. I remember my Dad telling me he got a good deal on it at the time because it was owned by some Oil and Gas company exec from Japan who bought it right before the crash and just wanted it out of his collection as quick as possible because he was superstitious about the watch being bad luck.
