I agree it is a gorgeous piece and a highlight of this year's novelties. Reference numbers were often a shorthand way of describing a watch when they were 4 numbers, aka the 6694. Now they are too long :-( This also brings to mind that nicknames can be used for the iconic pieces, such as the aforementioned Batman, the T-Bird, etc. How about we now call this baby the Plat Pat or Plat Trad ;-))
