Looks like an average Cymbidium to me.

It has unusual markings on the sepals and petals, but other than that it doesn't appear special. There's obviously some reason that they value it so highly. Perhaps it has variegated foliage or it's a unique variant.

You could buy a greenhouse and lots of nice plants for $202,000.

Hmm, you could buy me a house for that much money. Well, at least get me a good down payment anyway.
