Blancpain is funny

So Blancpain announced a piece unique anniversary edition of their Fifty Fathoms, that somehow is the exact same shade of blue as the non limited edition Spinnaker 50 phantoms (picture credit: @IAMD14 )

How did you miss the uproar that happened after the limited edition sell out in minutes?? They even had an apology letter for it 😅

Are we sure it's not the same shade of blue the 5015 FFs have sported since 2010?

This watch wasn't just announced. This watch was made for the OnlyWatch 2023 auction. However, there was some questions about the OnlyWatch charity and the 2023 auction was cancelled and the charity was audited. The audit was complete with no red flags, and the auction is back on in 2024. So most companies that made watches for the 2023 auction are just putting those watches in the 2024 auction. I seem to recall first seeing this watch around Aug or Sept of last year.

We’ve come full circle with the new Fifty Fathoms being a Fifty Phantoms homage 😂
