French luxury house Louis Vuitton has released a unique Tambour Diver Chronograph for Only Watch 2011 charity.
It was designed in collaboration with a young boy afflicted with Duchenne muscular dystrophy named Paul Pettavino ( he also contributed to Louis Vuitton’s Only Watch piece for Only Watch 2007 and Only Watch 2009)
The watch is made of black gold (white gold that’s been given the old PVD treatment) but dial details, rotative bezel and bracelet are in orange rubber, favorite color of Paul Pettavino.
The trunk is in Damier Graphite canvas, personalized by Paul Pettavino with a message and a ‘nautical sound’ recorded by Paul himself. The watch is also 100 meters water resistant.
‘Only Watch 2011′ is engraved in the back.
