Frosted Gold - ROC

Hello, I was browsing through the AP website and really like the new ROC 26239BC Frosted Gold Grey Dial. Just wondering whether any of you had the experience in buying any frosted gold models, especially in recent times? I've also not seen many available in the secondary market and the price is insane. I know the limited editions are reserved for the vvips; but wondering whether the non-limited ones are more attainable to a regular customer.

Many thanks

Define "regular customer"? Spending mid 5-figures to low 6 figures per year since before it became "profitable" to do so?

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I think spending mid 5 figures per year is what I had in mind

With luck, and if the initial hype cools down, the non-LE might eventually be available for an established, but non-VIP, customer - IMO.
