Scarce TAG Heuer SpaceX watch, commemorating decades of American success in space

Scarce TAG Heuer Formula 1 SpaceX commemorative watch, model no. CAU111B, serial no. EPJ5535, given to board members in 2012 to commemorate 50 years of American orbital spaceflight and the success of the SpaceX Falcon 9/Dragon spacecraft: the black dial features the SpaceX logo in white, and the caseback is engraved with the SpaceX logo, a diagram of the Falcon 9's upper stage deploying the Dragon spacecraft, and the anniversary dates for American orbital flight, "1962–2012." The 42 mm watch features three subdials, sapphire crystal, stainless steel bezel, stainless steel bracelet, and is water resistant to 200m. In very fine condition. Accompanied by its TAG Heuer case, cardboard box, and a letter of provenance from SpaceX board member Steve Jurvetson, in part: "2012 was a historic year for SpaceX, with the first successful Dragon spacecraft mission to the International Space Station for NASA, a bet-the-company program at the time. 2012 was also the 50-year anniversary of the first American in orbit, with astronaut John Glenn in 1962. SpaceX commissioned a commemorative TAG Heuer watch in 2012. Gwynne Shotwell gave me serial number EPJ5535, and I have kept it in my personal collection ever since."
