In spite of the case back saying it is one of only seven pieces, it's actually one of only 2 of which the other, slightly different to this example, resides in the Bovet museum hence the ''Piece Unique'' engraving on this particular masterpiece. Made and sold 7 years ago, Bovet recently advised in writing that such an example, were it to be manufactured today, would retail on our shores at the somewhat heady price of £750,000. Due to its outrageous quality, it wouldn't be surprising in the least to see it fetching such a price at auction houses in the years to come due to its hand engraved mouvment built by the greatest creator of repeating complications of our era, Christophe Claret. Without doubt, this is by far the best example of a tourbillon repeater wristwatch we have ever seen and with the aid of it's specially manufactured screwdriver can be converted from a wrist to a pocket watch hence the hand made chain and additional case back. This 'reverse' style mouvment is also unique to the brand.
1st & foremost, we understand & take responsibility for the fact that both tastes & horological fashions are ever changing.
We do this by being willing to take back past pieces we've sold either in the form of part exchanges or cash when needed.
With clients rarely loosing more than 15-20% in this process & even benefitting from large profits on occasion, we believe this is the way to build trust with the public. For example. If going 'off piste' & not sticking to in vogue trendy watches such as Batman's, we believe you would incur the same monetary loss spending £20,000 with us on your various purchases as you would spending £8500 at new RRP.
The very fact that we've never advertised in over 30 years shows we have a long standing loyal customer base. Please see testimonials for more on this.

Like the reintroduction of the Mini motorcar over a decade ago, this reinterpretation of Big Pilot by IWC is better than the original. This 1st series Platinum example is of course the top of the top.
