in position to apply for the Black Swann ;-(((


Only collectors with large PP collection, well known of Stern Family, could have this honor ;-)))

Black swan for me because it has no diamonds but enamel work for each is excellent Vessels meant for Nico to choose over Ulysse!! Swiss alps?...  

Vessels are not bad, but you should have an eye on the GP and UN forum.

Many things for you, there, my friend. Best, Nicolas

Beautiful art work.

But the vessels - aren't they a bit too much symbolic? I think they are designed Titanic now laying very deep on the bottom of North Atlantic. Best, Kari

Hi Kari, if vessels = Titanic, then they will not...

that all rare handcraft watches possess a special beauty, however None of the watches released for basel 2015 appealed to me the first time I saw them, And they still don't now. My wallets happy but I'm still a bit disappointed. Sincerely H.

Basel 2010 for 5077 / 100 P titled "Native Indians of the Great Plains" These "feather" hands were meant to complement the motif with the Native Indians Hope this is helpful Cheers, Gordon

Would be a great coup for a sydney or Aussie collector! Julian

It has your name all over it, Julian!...

(Not that your name is Sydney, or Philippe, but you get the drift!). Cheers, pplater.

 By: GLau : March 24th, 2015-10:02
the 5077P family, which the swan belongs to, goes for around US$100,000+/- depending on the enamel work + diamonds involved although no pocket change, allocation is still the key issue good luck !! Gordon

Thanks Gordon..

 
 By: watch-guy.com : March 24th, 2015-12:50
A suppose one way to justify it . is to look at it as a piece of wearable art still $100k...gulp Julian

Even more than usual, pieces to be seen in the metal
