What model is this?

Just found this model and tried to find any info on the reference number that the dealer mentions but can't seem to find anything. Don't know if they are naming the wrong ref. number. It is such a nice dress watch!
Anyone here know the correct ref. number for this watch?



Here is a link to the the watch:

I agree, seems strange. I don't know if I ever heard of a 5 digit ref. from the 60's...?

Nah, they wrote it wrongly. I am a bit suspicious of that dial.

Looks like a USA case with a 1520 17 jewel. Generally presentation watch. 14k

Dial is fine.

Non Oyster snap back.

Thanks! Do you know what the correct ref. number might be? What does "presentation watch" mean?

I think it means a watch a company might give to an employee on retirement or sales award. Something like that.
