It is a Maudiae type hybrid (petals have too many spots for callosum). It is a nice one, even if the dorsal does not get fully erect.
If it is a pod, it is apparently a selfing. You need to decide whether seedlings of a NOID are worthwhile. You can certainly grow them yourself, but they have no commercial value**.
Flasking at a lab will run you $100-150 for initial sowing, plus 5 replates (min at most labs).
Carrying a pod for 12 months puts some strain on the plant. If it is a smaller plant, it may skip a blooming.
** = My thinking is that going into the expense of producing & raising 125+ seedlings, it should be something with a name AND a purpose. With the latter I mean that there should be some desirable trait or feature from each parent, that you would like to combine in the offspring.
Lastly, if you grow your Paphs in spaghnum moss/bark mix, you could sow in a pot with a plant potted abt 6 months ago. If you water carefully (so seeds do not wash away), you have a 5% chance of getting a few seedlings.
If you want better odds, a commercial flasking service is the only way to go.
