If it's in good (excellent) condition, and you have all the paperwork -- I'd say around 4k USD?
Others may disagree and correct me, of course. ;-)

I can see your exact model with a MOP dial on an archived Breitling.com web site from 2000. But that doesn't tell me if yours is made of MOP too. You should be able to see the slight changes in tint (usually it's subtle enough to be very hardly visible in pictures).

Cheers, Don

My 13050 (the model just before yours) doesn't glow enough to be useful either. I don't bother much, but the dial, hands and bezel dot certainly could be re-lumed by any skilled watchmaker (and Breitling's services, for instance, fall into that category).
Cheers!
