Carved in 1995 and made in England, the piece was produced in an edition of \u003cstrong\u003e4,056\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBig Blue served as a Royal Watch Club redemption piece during the club’s earliest years. The same whale design was used for both the \u003cstrong\u003e1996 charter year\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003e1997 membership year\u003c\/strong\u003e, with the principal difference being the inscription on the front of the base. Examples are known with \u003cstrong\u003e“Royal Watch Charter 1996”\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003e“Royal Watch 1997,”\u003c\/strong\u003e while a small number were reportedly marked \u003cstrong\u003e“Royal Watch Charter 1997”\u003c\/strong\u003e in error.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis Archive example is the Charter 1996 version\u003c\/strong\u003e, with \u003cstrong\u003e“Royal Watch Charter 1996”\u003c\/strong\u003e clearly inscribed on the front of the base.

The cylinder retains a label identifying the piece as \u003cstrong\u003e“Extra Large Whales”\u003c\/strong\u003e with the item number \u003cstrong\u003eTJRWWH\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figurine itself corresponds to the Royal Watch piece commonly documented as \u003cstrong\u003eBig Blue, RW97WH\u003c\/strong\u003e, while the original Archive packaging preserves the alternate \u003cstrong\u003eTJRWWH \/ Extra Large Whales\u003c\/strong\u003e identification.
