Burgundy i see not often. I like the color, i had even a car with that paint.
the red is more the wine red...something similar to the Reverso i suppose.
... but that colour is Bordeaux in French Go figure.. It is an amazing piece and I assume the owner also owns a parcel somewhere in the region if he is such a Bourgogne fanatic
I suppose the date and the wine is near and dear the to the individual that commissioned it! If I am not mistaken there was also a recent DB27 release in a very interesting green dial limited to 10. Although I must say of the newest releases the DB28 XP Meteorite has been my favorite so far.
the way the dial and strap match so well. I believe this is a Titan Hawk aka DB27 produced in 8 pieces with a white dial, 9 pieces with a blue dial, and just announced yesterday, 10 pieces in a lovely green dial. This burgundy dial is obviously the most exclusive. Thanks for sharing Mahesh.
sure not an everyday timepiece but fits into a diverse collection with elegance !
