With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with silvered dial and gold numerals in 1944 and its subsequent sale on 8 February 1949. Furthermore delivered with Patek Philippe fitted presentation box.

The tachymetre scale is furthermore not framed by two thin lines as found in the later series.
