In celebration of Sir Elton John's 2018 'Farewell Yellow Brick Road' Tour, the acclaimed musician offered 10 Franck Muller watches from his personal collection to Bamford for them to specially customize each one. Every watch is unique in its own right, featuring different colorways and metals with the present lot featuring a black dial with a centralized white "swirl" motif, and a customized red seconds hand. Furthermore, these watches come with a special box with internal printed note, and an outer acrylic packaging with a matching "swirl" motif.
Offered in overall very good condition, this lot presents as an increasingly rare opportunity to own a watch that was once part of one of the world's most beloved musicians.
