Philippe Dufour Simplicity

Unfortunately, to finance a new business venture which I am about to start, I have regretfully decided that I need to sell my Simplicity. It is number 13, in a 37mm rose gold case, and currently has the white lacquer dial with roman numbers and Breguet hands mounted on it, even though - as you can see in the pictures - I am selling it also with its silver guilloché dial with rose gold numerals and rose gold dauphine hands (plus box and papers)! As an aside, I had Philippe engrave the back of the number plate which is screwed onto the movement with a "+1/2", so that I could jokingly claim that the watch was actually N.13 and a half (while all my watches from independent makers are number 13, this was the only one on which I was able to have this done). The watch has been worn by me, but is in mint condition and comes with a new Philippe Dufour black alligator strap (the curvature you can see on the strap comes from having been stored on a round support in a safe, and not from having been worn). I am asking for 85,000 USD for it. The watch is visible and available for pick-up in Paris, France, but could also be hand delivered at next year's SIHH or Basel fairs, if you wanted to wait that long to have it. It can also be shipped worldwide at buyer's risk and expense. I have many references available, besides Philippe Dufour himself. I have also moderated two fora on ThePuristS for years, and I currently moderate for Revolution Online. You can also google my name, and see that I have been active in the on-line watch community for well over 10 years now.
