My guess is they’ve bought it to make heritage reissues. Georges Kern will probably do a pretty good job of it. And they’ll be expensive.
Vintage UG haven’t really taken off at auction in the way they were predicted to by a lot of people. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a strategy of Breitling privately acquiring some nice examples and then coordinating a big headline sale with Phillips to generate some hype in the brand to coincide with the relaunch.
