    Happy new year everyone.

    I just sold my Big Pilot in white gold. Big Pilot is my favorite watch and I am now looking to buy a Big Pilot in Platin.

    I don“t know if I should go for the limited old style in black or the new fathers and son (without the son watch).
    Are there any suggestions?

    Does anybody know many have been made of 5002 I Platin? Is the color mix 50% black and blue and are there made 500 or 250 of each color?

    Kind regards

    BP in platinum

    I am not sure of the numbers - but the Platinum Father and Sons set I am informed is only available as a set together with the Mark XVI.

    The white gold BP is truly beautiful watch - must have been tough to decide to move on to the platinum version......

    be all the fashion in the next 5 years taking over from Platinum.
    Remember you read it here first (LOL)

    Happy New Year Vacheron! You sound like someone >

    who would want a classic platinum Big Pilot, first edition. The production Nr are restricted for 10 years from date of production.

    Happy hunting,

    The right one appeals to me

    I just love the old style dial.
    That's my personal taste.

    Big Pilot, which one should I buy?

    I was a hard decision to sell the white gold, because i really like the color of the dial together with the brown strap.

    I however love platinum and has been wanting one for years now.
    I am leaning more and more towards the old style.

    I know the father model only comes with the mark IV, but I where planning to sell it immediately. It holds no interest for me, just want the big pilot in platinum.
