These were given to the event winners. Believed to be around 20 originally. Never produced for sale.
Saw one for auction at watches of Knightsbridge. The dial was reworked and the seconds hand was wrong. The caseback was also wrong. I did point it out to them. It went unsold so they may have pulled it.
I designed that one myself
The one below is wrong (tried hard but no). Also note the very clean dial and incorrect seconds hand
