Apple Watch - The Original !

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Its About Time

Original Apple watch from The Beatles.
 
First gen'' apple watch ! This was a limited run for Apple records (Apple Corps Ltd) in the late 1960''s. Apparently only 2-300 were ever made for promotions through the Beatles new Apple Boutique. This ''boutique'' as it was known, opened in 1967 on Dec'' 5th. The opening party was attended by John, George, Eric Clapton, Cilla Black and many more who drank apple juice as it didn''t have an alcohol licence! The shop was only open for just over 1 year as there was a lot of ''Shop lifting'' and John Lennon took a very relaxed approach to security. The boutique ended up closing as it had lost such a large amount of money.
 
The watch is supplied on a new 34mm Leather strap. We have the original strap too, should want it. The case is Rhoduim plated brass and the dial is printed with an apple and gold plated hands. It even looks good as a desk clock!
 
The sticker on the back is just a stock number and peels off.
