That is an FP Journe Chronometre Bleu. Look around and You'll see how the dial just comes alive in different lighting.
It's around 23k? from a boutique, you'll have to ask for the official price.

Tantalum is special alloy that has the heft of platinum and way harder than ss. It makes the watch feel as heavy and shiny as pm plus I personally love the darker gun-grey shade. Quite unique and goes very well with the blue dial. That dial changes color with light and reflection angle like no other in the industry. Add to that the full gold movement and some beautiful strap colors to get a very satisfying watch to own. Some more photos (not all mine but very beautiful).

Here is a good video review for your reference and yes I admit, I love this watch to death

If I had those watches and could add one more it would be a YG DD or Lange Up/Down.

It truly is stunning. You’ve gotten a few answers so I’ll just add another pic :)

Good luck!

You read my mind! 5164 is the first thing that popped into my head.

Yes! The travel time is a superb watch! I think it's the only Aquanaut on par with the Nautilus. The GMT complication is executed beautifully on this watch. I love the Tiffany dial version that John Mayer has. It just adds extra collectability to an already stunning watch.

Skydweller with the white face used. Or a nice Lange used. My friend has the white gold skydweller and it is extremely smart

[polowatch]

I just purchased a 116618LB. Less than $25,000. I am beyond excited about my purchase.
I looked for 4 months or so, found the right one/price and grabbed it.
The watch arrives here on Tuesday.

118206?

Or that RG DD w/olive?

Smurf.

[tbonesteak]

I'd replace the Pepsi with either a Coke GMT or possibly a DJ41 and then get the WG Pepsi.

Replacing the Pepsi for a coke? It’s a basically a $100 bezel for a insert. It’d be much easier just to add the insert.

As much as a like the DJ41 I’d never trade away my 16710 for one. They’re just getting too hard to find these days and the prices are constantly rising.

This is a beauty. Also great in white gold if the OP prefers.

A Lange 1 for sure. Perhaps in rose gold on brown leather. A DD40 would be a great choice as well but you probably want something other than Rolex. Maybe a Breguet Marine 5817 Big Date on gold bracelet. The guilloché dials and classic Breguet hands are really stunning. The movements and their finishing are really impeccable. Breguet produces lots of beautiful designs and are extremely underrated and overlooked compared to AP, Patek and even Vacheron. Perhaps one of the most, if not the most, under-appreciated maker out there given their heritage and elite clientele including Napoleon and Marie Antoinette. Since most people are after the usual suspects: Daytona, Royal Oak, Nautilus, Calatrava this results in many references being available for a steal.

Moser make the best smoked dials.

The 1815 U/D is a beauty, even if the 7 and 5 have to do some heavy lifting.
