With Hublot blank International Guarantee, Jean-Claude Biver autograph letter, literature, fitted presentation box and outer packaging
The Big Bang is one of the most remarkable horological commercial successes in recent times. Introduced in 2005 in Basel, its iconic design has since then captivated the hearts of countless enthusiasts.
It was precisely during this year the Mr. Biver generously donated the present timepiece for a charity auction, at which the present owner bought it. Reading the hand written letter by Mr. Biver, we understand that it is one of the earliest prototypes of the Big Bang chronograph. Indeed, the case is engraved Bale 05 (Basel '05) and the case number is 301'101. Mr. Biver in the letter mentions the existence of another prototype, in his possession. It is an educated guess that the present timepiece is the second Big Bang ever made (case. 301'101), while the first one (case 301'100) remains in possession of Mr. Biver.
Considered the success of the model, the present timepiece is an extraordinary find of enormous historical importance.
