Wait - the 50th Anniversary LE piece will only be sold at the Dover Street Market pop-up? That doesn't seem to make sense to me. I thought it would be more of a global anniversary celebration. Maybe that's not THE anniversary piece, but just one for that particular market?

i wasn't told it was a 50th anniversary piece to be honest. my SA just said "oh by the way they are going to have these pieces for the pop up store" !

i was more surprised by the pop-up store concept for VCA! like why? there's a proper VCA boutique 2 streets away from Dover St Market. SA said in wg onyx in London only officially sold at pop-up store. I don't know about availability in the rest of the world.

If this is for a pop up store it can’t be the highly anticipated 50th release.
It’s got to be something else.

I suspect there is confusion and mis-information being communicated. I highly doubt the Onyx WG is the 50th. Like you all said, not terribly special or spectacular given the nature of the event. Secondly, having it be released Nov/Dec of this year seems awfully strange since 2017 is not the year of the 50th celebration. Sounds like the WG Onyx combo is just being released to another big city market like the way they just let the NYC boutique sell it. So I am skeptical this is the 50th LE pieces. Let's hope there is something truly special still being released next year (that my wallet can afford).

Hi guys I'm from Dubai

Right now the maison has a temporary 3 week traveling school (lecole van cleef and arpels) which I have attended some classes. It was amazing I must say.

Anyways I have been following this thread although I actually don't post much but I though that it's time for me to contribute.
Regarding the onyx and white gold, one of the organizers was wearing the five motif bracelet and it was absolutely breath taking especially on her olive tan skin. I believe it would be a hit. Although I cannot confirm if it if actually for the 50tg year, just sharing what I saw.

Thanks guys
