Watch-Wiki lists calibers 1560 and 1570 for the 1003. Collector Square reproduces a Bonhams 2024 lot describing a caliber 1530, movement 98,643, in case 573,835, with a chronometer certificate dated 22 December 1960. Bonhams also recorded a caliber 1530 in a 1002. Treat the 1530 as a catalogue outlier; the reproduction does not establish factory fitment.
Watch-Wiki lists calibers 1560 and 1570 for the 1003. Bonhams’ September 2024 catalogue entry lists a caliber 1530, movement 98,643, in case 573,835, with a chronometer certificate dated 22 December 1960. Bonhams also recorded a caliber 1530 in a 1002. Treat the 1530 as a catalogue outlier; the reproduction does not establish factory fitment.


Auction records document both 1560 and 1570 examples. Caliber 1560 beats at 18,000 vph; caliber 1570 runs at 19,800 vph. See [[Reference:Movements|the movement index]] for the full lineage.

Three Antiquorum catalogue appearances cover two or possibly three 18k Coca-Cola 1003 watches. Case 5,426,177 is dated 1977 and appears in Antiquorum’s 2006 sale and Sotheby’s 2014 sale. Case 3,044,042 is dated 1972 and appears in Antiquorum’s 2007 sale. Collector Square reproduces Antiquorum’s 2004 New York lot 118: an 18k 1003/1002 produced in the late 1970s and previously sold in January 1980. The catalogue omits its case number. It could be a separate watch or case 5,426,177. Antiquorum notes that case bodies and backs were interchangeable, so the paired designation cannot identify it. Watch Club separately lists a 14ct gold 1003 as a 1961 presentation watch. The dealer attributes the commission to Coca-Cola; its photograph shows an engraving naming Sal Eaton and dating the presentation to 1 September 1961. Christie’s catalogued a 14k 1002 with a Coca-Cola dial. Artcurial’s separate 14k 1005, case 3,921,444, has a Coca-Cola service engraving for Th. Rummens on the caseback. Heritage catalogued another 14k 1005 with a hand-painted Coca-Cola dial inscription; its condition report says the dial was refinished, leaving the mark’s date and maker undetermined.
