After a long agonizing wait, I finally got to open my surprise yesterday!

It's the 16202 Jumbo! Very excited to say the least. Now I see why there is so much hype over this piece. The proportions are just perfect. Just very thankful to my SA and BT manager for treating us so well.

Here are some pics of the One Drop unique 1 of 1 piece we got to preview at the AP dinner last night. Please excuse the quality of the photos as it was very hard to capture it in the dark.

Going to the auction event tonight and interested to see what the piece will sell for.

Huge congrats, looks great! What's your wrist size, if you don't mind me asking? Handled an 16202BA recently and still unsure about size on my 6.5 inch wrist. Looks great on yours, really, really jealous! :)

Someday…this will be my reality! Obviously, not 50th for me, but that’s the same AP my wife got this year. Someday would love to have a 16202 to match!

Thanks. I have a 7" wrist. The proportions on the watch are really perfect and incredibly comfortable.

Well, the AP dinner event last night was wonderful in an intimate setting. We were able to preview the One Drop chrono piece before it went to auction tonight. The actual charity event tonight was on a much bigger scale with lots of attendees at the Skyfall lounge on the 64th floor at the Delano Hotel. AP had 3 tables at the event. I got to meet some really cool people and made some new friends for sure. I was the most underqualified person in the room IMO. Some real big players there. I'm just honored that my BT offered me a spot at both events. Both events were an amazing experience.

For those of you wondering how much the One Drop piece sold for, $1.1 million. A phone bidder won out.

Sounds a great evening. Love the Skyfall lounge, went there when over for my 50th and my sons 21st. Also went there for my 40th too coincidentally, though think it had a different name then

Thanks for the recap. Sounds like a great time, and you definitely have a great relationship with your boutique. Hope 2023 will be as exciting for you!
