Is this a GMT please?

Is this one ever mass produced for sales?

Ah, cool! Maybe PP will make a few new ones for their VVIPs? TIF blue dial, or is that past prime now? The headlines will bring publicity, could be a smart re-release for PP.

Cartier Crash remakes, movie re-dos... time to revisit PP's archives of creativity. 👍
