Wow, I like the "two tone lite" look on his personal watch: blue dial and gold bezel but full stainless steel bracelet / lugs.

Unbelievable treasure trove.

What if this original first draft is what AP plans to release for the 50th anniversary?

Wow this piece certainly has the provenance, and I foresee another record in May 2022. This timing also coincides with the Jumbo's 50th anniversary of its release no less.

Actually not just a 30 rotation but 2 extra sides. This first scatch had hexagonal bezel instead of octagonal.

That is a real heirloom piece, I suspect some serious bidders will want that one.

I expect AP themselves will want it for the new museum.

Or will they turn up their nose and say, "this 5402 dial is a service dial" when they see the "Swiss Made" marking instead of "Swiss"? (Just kidding of course: it's a one-of-a-kind piece!)

Indeed, as we think Rolex probably went in hard for the PN.
