Was this the intended ONLYWATCH?
Interesting that they made the ONLYWATCH to make 30 pieces.
Incredible movement, finishing, and story. But I think it's odd, if true, that they made the ONLYWATCH into a 30 piece edition. Have other companies followed suit?

To me it looks more like Mr Stern got his persanel Patek and the other 29 pay for it.
However, those 29 get a "gift", too.
You hit it on the nail! Agree also with Patekova that Patek should have kept it at a 3 and the model would remain for posterity . That would be more fitting tribute
Agree on the face graphics. Something I expect from Timex. Not a problem for me anyway as I will not be getting one!!!
1. Kudos to anyone who read that entire press release!
2. First watch I can think that should be sent to Bamford for a dial upgrade!
The good new is, we now have a sample of his signature on the rotor...
...I can see myself writing the letter now:
Dear factory,
Please sell mdg any watch that he wants at cost.
And put him at the top of every list.
He's a good guy and deserves it.
Thank you,
Philippe Stern Signature
This watch will be forgotten very quickly.
Questionable dial, only 30 pieces all sold in the first day (hours), movement never to be repeated, watch very unlikely auctioned in the next years... A missed opportunity for PP and Mr. Thierry Stern IMHO. Such a shame that this great movement will never see another release.
Funnily, I believe it took them more effort to prepare the press release than to actually sell 25M CHF worth of watches. Life is strange sometimes.
My sense is that . . .
. . . given his age Philippe may not be in the best of health. The reference could be a timely tribute from son to father.
