This wallet was first shown at the Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas in 2015.

There is an article in French (https://bitcoin.fr/ledger-wallet-proton-nfc/). And also a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BUi9trE0e4) where this wallet is mentioned.

Very nice catch! That video is the only one I have seen of the Proton. I don't think the Proton ever made it into full production, here is the article translated:

I was buying from Ledger back then and never saw the Proton advertised. What Ledger did sell was an NFC card called the Ledger Unplugged (https://bitcoinnewsmagazine.com/ledger-unplugged-bitcoin-hardware-wallet-review/) which I tried out and found it very finicky about placement to get it to communicate with my phone. Ledger dropped that product from their line I don't think it sold well.

/u/murzika said on r/ledgerwallet (https://www.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/2vzlx9/ledger_wallet_proton/) back then:

Quote
The Proton is a product targeting developers only and won't be released for the general public.

Our next product will be the Ledger Blue and will be available Q4 2015.

If you are lucky some developer might see this and offer you one. Ledger might still have some on the shelf, you could contact them and see if they would sell you one as a collectible.

Response from Ledger...

I checked with the developers, they confirmed it was a prototype for BTC, however, it's not functional and not available.

Thank you for your understanding,
