John Glenn's Lecoultre Lucky Watch Ref 3027 has reached a good score at the latest Phillips auctions.
62, 500 USD.
I was curious to know how this watch would end, at this auction. Not a bad score at all!
Good... Luck to its new owner.

As I said, it is a beautiful piece of art, the new owner certainly is a lucky one. [nt]

love the spirit of this watch! now its time to see if the caliber is a 12 or 24 hours one, I read this was still an open question :-) [nt]

24 hours, normally as it is the same than the one housed in the Quartermaster. But now I have a doubt, not on the calibre, but on the 24 hours...

It is a 12 hour movement.
I went to view and even placed a bid on this Lucky 13. According to Paul Boutros from Phillips, that it uses the same movement as the 24 hour quartermaster with the gearing changed to 12 hour. So it is indeed a 12 hour movement. Personally, I didn’t wind the watch or set the time to confirm this, but I will take Paul’s words for it. Hope this helps.
