    Take one Portu Automatic

    i129.photobucket.com/albums/p224/aumarumohd/41fc1dba.jpg

    Take one BPPC

    i129.photobucket.com/albums/p224/aumarumohd/16608f2d.jpg

    Get the Portu to buckle up (no alchemy here).

    Throw in some French flair courtesy of Dubail, and voila.

    i129.photobucket.com/albums/p224/aumarumohd/624cd544.jpg

    Repeat above 25 times. Then throw away the recipe.

    Get aumarumohd to take some rubbish pictures (QED) and then get a professional to show how its done.

    Yes we have....I copped out of the WG variant as it wasn't stealth wealth enough. Have said that, I did seriously consider the WG. But ultimately, in my culture it is not considered as de rigueur for a man to wear gold........But the ardoise dial is to die for.

    I'll try to tske more pictures, but I only picked up the piece this evening and need to prepare for Ramadan.

    N.B No striptease from my end, I'll leave that to the master!

    That's a stunner. The Portuguese PPC always IMO needed to be a clean open dial, ie no colours but that has changed my opinion in a heartbeat.

    I believe it is because only 25 pieces were produced.

    Great timepiece! I don't remember this piece showing up in the forum for the last 2-3 years. It's certainly an excellent acquisition!

    Enjoy this beauty and wear it in good health.

    Hmm, doing a search for this model shows it has been posted here on the Forum before and I even replied in that thread! I must be getting old :-)

    A splendid and rare acquistion. I seen one in Paris last year and the "red 25" was such a nice subtle touch. I dont have the same chef skills unfortunately.
