That´s the base plate under assembly, for the very first watch to be delivered (allocated to GP Boutique in Gstaad/Switzerland).
The dark grey plating, or "black gold" plating as it´s referred to, is a stunning finish.
I like the counterplay of gold movement parts, clear bright bridges and the dark "background" a lot; it´s a fascinating view and never stops to amaze. The grey plating interacts with light quite a lot and appear as light grey, but dark as anthracite too. That´s truly stunning. A bit like those early movements with Titanium bridges made by Renaud&Papi for Richard Mille; it´s not just dark and it´s very hard to capture.
Truly one of those things which reveal their whole beauty only to owners taking the time to appreciate!
More to come later!
Cheers,

Wow that dark grey plating on the outer movement parts is wicked!
