The most complex burr ever?

C2-1 - an amazing 43 piece burr
I am amazed, pleased and humbled to have received a gift from my friend Yvon. He asked Stephan Baumegger (one of the best puzzle craftsmen in the world) to build the amazing 43 piece burr designed by CK Leung. I think it must be one of the most incredible constructions I have ever seen - Stephan said that his computer running Burrtools day and night took 14 complete days to find the solution! It has an amazing level of:
53.15.14.8.13.11.3.1.3.4.7.1.4.7.4.3.3.3.2.5.3.4.4.4.5.4.4.4.3.1.2.2.2
It is truly stunning and I am eagerly awaiting news that one of my clever friends might have solved it - only 5 will ever be made and they have gone to true burr enthusiasts around the world.
