Priced at Rs 13 crore or $1.88 million, it is studded with nearly 360 diamonds. The bike is based on Softail Slim S and it took engineers 2,500 hours to make and assemble each piece by hand. Fittingly, only one such marvel has been constructed.

Not surprisingly, it gets its name because the bike has been coated in six coats of different colours layered atop each other, with blue being the outer layer. The tank gets a custom “Harley-Davidson” script above the “BLU/EDITION” logo shared by Bucherer’s other 17 high-end watches in the Blue Edition collection.
