Rarest SLS Accessory

In 2010 Mercedes Benz commissioned the production of 50 pairs of sterling silver SLS Gull Wing cuff links made by Tiffany. 35 of these were presented to the top 35 grossing MB Dealerships in the USA. Apparently the remaining 15 pair were given to MB executives. Each of their wives were given sterling silver SLS charms to be attached to a sterling silver charm bracelet. Each cuff link and charm bear the Tiffany mark. These are very rarely seen. Are any of the enthusiasts on our forum aware of these? These cuff links and charms were never offered for public sale by Tiffany. I suspect that if James Bond drove an SLS he would wear these to the Casino. A few pair have hit the market over the last decade, I would assume. Is there a rarer SLS accessory?

I own a pair of the cufflinks but haven't seen the charms. Do you have more info on how many charms were produced, and were they a set with the cufflinks?

As much as I appreciate the rarity of the cufflinks I've got, I'm trying to find out who broke up my set. Lol

Apparently the 35 individuals who owned the 35 largest grossing MB dealerships were all male. The charms/ bracelets were commissioned for their wives/girlfriends.The wiomen were perhaps less reluctant to give up the charms, than their husbands were to relinquish their cuff links. As I recall, I obtained these photos 2-3 years ago. I have seen only 2 pair of the cuff links. I have never seen the charms or bracelets. I have not personally seen the cuff links nor the charms shown in the photos which I have posted. Perhaps the photos I have posted were taken by a professional photographer.
