Auction catalogues date 1005 case 826,301 to 1962 or circa 1963; the two records appear to describe the same pink-gold watch. Other dated examples include cases 903,017 and 926,416 (circa 1962–63), 1,050,796 (circa 1964), 1,176,167 (inside caseback code II.65), 1,177,843 (circa 1966), 1,586,108 (catalogued 1971, with a guarantee booklet dated 22 December 1971), 1,801,509 (circa 1968), 3,021,909 (circa 1971), 3,367,203 (London import mark dated 1973), and 3,921,444 (circa 1974). Sotheby’s catalogued case 7,126,615 as circa 1995, but that date conflicts with the serial sequence and should not be treated as a secure production date. These are isolated auction and component dates, not a serial-year chart or production range.

=== Oyster Perpetual 1022 dated examples ===

Auction and dealer records date ref. 1022 case 692,564 (Pandolfini) and 692,570 (Bonhams) to circa 1961, case 768,587 (Adams) to 1961, case 856,369 (HODINKEE) to 1963, and case 1,060,089 (Tajan) to circa 1964. The first four numbers fall in Pergola bands labeled 1961, 1961, 1961, and 1962; the last falls in the 1964 band. The chart's 1962 label for case 856,369 differs from HODINKEE's 1963 listing date. These catalogue dates and unofficial chart bands are checks on individual examples, not the 1022's production limits.
