The dark lord - pvd monaco registry
This exceptionally rare variant was only recenlty authenticated by Jack Heuer, although it was never officially offered for sale. Estimates of numbers produced seem to range between 50 and 250, however what we do know is that less than 20 are currently known to have survived. It seems likely it was produced as a prototype trial run for the PVD process, of which Heuer was an early adopter. Using the equally rare 7740 Valjoux movement it is the quickest beating Monaco beating at 28800 bpm. Everything about the "Dark Lord" is unusual and along with the Chronomatic variant it is the holy grail of Monaco collecting. Click on a link for more details, including a picture where available...
