Wow, there's a lot of watches celebrating key milestone anniversaries this year! Didn't realize the Rolex Daytona will also celebrate 60 years.

Yep 600 in total.
All individually numbered.

 

600 feels like a good number, everyone here will be able to buy one and TAG won't struggle 2 years to sell them. Individually numbered is definitely a plus too.

@Anthony.R what is the price? Is it in line with recent glass box models?

 

It's $10,650AUD
The Ice King was $9,200AUD back in 2020.
So it's definitely in line with recent prices when you think we have had at least 5 price increases since 2020.

 

Just heard from my AD it can only be ordered through a TH boutique

 

That's correct.
It's a boutique only release.

 

Really good thing I don't want one then cause there aint no such fancy boutiques in my part of the world. I guess some AD's will eventually receive what is left over after a while

 

The nearest boutique only knew a gold anniversary watch was coming in next week. Never heard of any panda

 

Oh really? Maybe the anniversary Skipper will be solid gold?

 

So clearly we have a panda and gold anniversary dropping within the first few days of the year. Seems like a busy year for TH

 

This one by Mika already tells us somewhat how new will look vs old.

 

We should have an idea of what is coming next week at LVMH Watch Week.

 

Could that be the gold panda released last year though?

 

Yes, I'm sure that's what they meant

 

Btw, the boutique I visited last Friday (Bluewater, UK) knew nothing either.

 

The panda will be 7100 euro. The silver king was 6.400

 

You mean the CBN2044? That wasn't a anniversary model though was it?

 

Not as such, but Jack Heuer was wheeled out for it. Even so, I'm sure they meant this one.

 

Well some poor sod was told it was, remember, he said he was gonna be annoyed if it turned out not to be the JH90... which it wasn't. And his order was non cancellable.

 

I mean surely you buy a watch because you love it, not because it's celebrating some event. I couldn't care less if the forthcoming panda is a 60th anniversary watch and individually numbered or not quite frankly. In fact I'd rather it wasn't as these things tend to add a premium.
