Icon5 Couldnt find this info anywhere... dating a AP RO Two Tone

Hi folks,

been a while. Now back with a new watch, the Royal Oak. I know nothing about this watch. It seems to be 36mm and its gold/steel for sure.

Im trying to figure out what the number on the case back means. It says nr. 73 on mine but has no letter. (All the dating info I found includes a letter...)

Thanks for your help!

Fresh

Its not. AP wanted to service it.

I heard something about pre a-series in that the a-series for the two tone RO has no letter. Can anyone confirm this? Would that indicate the year 1972?

Maybe its not the serial nr. Are there ROs where the serial is inside the back (so you have to open the case to see it?)
