With only 11 ever made, the secondary market price is going to be volatile, similar to anything that changes hands very infrequently. This exact watch may not come up for sale in the secondary market for many years or there may be a motivated seller already (unlikely). Sapphire cases are uncommon and wear quite a bit differently, so you have to trust your own preference.
It's an absolutely spectacular watch in all case shapes, materials and sizes though. It's a very small community of owners, and we're lucky to have a few here.
If you haven't already and value retention is on your mind, I'd suggest reaching out to Steve Hallock. He resells on this site (as well as his own) and he also seems to be a Greubel Forsey enthusiast.

Great to hear from one of the 11! I am getting closer to joining you as a member of the saphire GF club! Do you mind sharing what you paid for yours? Via PM if that is more comfortable for you
I am not comfortable disclosing what

I paid; sorry. It doesn’t matter anyway; you’ll need to determine if what you will pay is good value for you and makes sense to you.
Got you 👍

Do you know the lug to lug?
I dont think anyone can answer those questions better than you

You know what you are talking about. Your concerns are valid. Its up to you. Could you get a better watch for that money? Perhaps. The sapphire case comes with a huge premium. Worth it? I dont know. Only you can tell. Other GF models? Also an option.
