Love that Firenze edition! Those LE straps are almost as nice as the JV straps. Tough finding that model. Only 200 pieces wasn't it? As much as I love the dial and case back, I'm not sure if I could pay almost 2x a 111 (near same price would be a no brainer). Nevertheless a great acquisition - enjoy that piece!

List price was the same as a pam111 and I got it from the boutique so by that reckoning a very good price

Cheers Ian

In answer to you question, yes it was 200 pieces for the 411.

Very nice! Your next one should be a Tourbillon, only way you can top a LE as your first

Congrats and the watch looks really nice with the combination of dial and strap!!!

Just wondering how many of such limited editions available worldwide. I have seen a number of variations. For Asia, I understand that they are available in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Taipei and Japan.

I have tried my luck a few weeks ago at Taipei but was told that they have only 50 units there and all gone!!!
