Congratulations on the acquisition. VERY happy for you. The Tourbillon PLM is iconic, important, and beautiful. All three. And YG is THE metal for this watch.
I have told the story before about how Walter Lange excitedly showed off his YG Tourbillon PLM #1 to me about 20 years ago. We didn't speak the same language, so he tapped me on the shoulder at an event, led me over to a magnifying device hooked up to a projection screen, removed his watch, and put it under the magnifier so that I could see the fusee and chain on the big screen. Truly captivating, and his passion about this piece was genuine.
I read your post before looking at your pics, and I kept thinking, "Did he get Peter's book?" Then I saw the pics. Book in hand. Excellent. And I didn't know about the Grönefeld connection. Thanks for sharing that.
Lastly, very sorry to hear about the loss of your father. I hope you have good memories.
