Apple unveiled not only Apple Pay, but also the long-anticipated Apple Watch
In what CNNMoney.com called "one of the most ambitious product launches in its history," Apple unveiled not only Apple Pay, but also the long-anticipated Apple Watch.
Does "one of the most ambitious product launches in its history," mean Apple Pay, Apple Watch, or both?
Thanks for your help.

My opinion: in the phrase "product launch," "product" does not refer either to the Apple Watch or to Apple Pay.
Rather, a "launch" is the name of a kind of EVENT. "Product" is functioning as an adjective modifying the noun "launch."
What kind of event was it? Was it a convention, a party, a press conference? No, it was a launch. Was it a boat launch or a rocket launch? No, it was a product launch.
What products were launched at this product launch? The Apple Watch and Apple Pay.
