I visited the VC boutique in Singapore at the Marina Bay Sands recently and I saw that they have the new reference 85290 in rose gold already - I recall seeing this watch first in Watches and Wonders 2014 in Hong Kong. There is the limited EP version and ...

you are right some vintage models have a charm that modern ones lost it. For example,the use of precious stones in 1960`s and 1970`s are missed in modern watches.
