Antiquorum’s joint 1010/1011 lots give cases 576,171 (dated 1960) and 933,961 (dated 1962); their photographs leave the between-lugs references unreadable. Heritage, Bonhams and Antiquorum’s 2020 catalogue individually identify 1010 cases 646,320 (circa 1962), 1,659,430 (circa 1967) and 1,960,000 (circa 1968). In Pergola’s chart, 576,171 and 646,320 fall in the 1960 band, 933,961 lies between the listed 1962 and 1963 bands, 1,659,430 falls in the 1967 band, and 1,960,000 falls in the 1969 band. The lot dates and chart bands disagree on several examples; use them as estimates for the individual watches, not as a continuous sequence for ref. 1010.

=== Oyster Perpetual 1011 dated examples ===

Auction catalogues date ref. 1011 case 546,423 to 1960, case 692,498 to circa 1962, and case 1,301,143 to circa 1965. These are case-and-date pairs reported for individual watches; they do not establish a ref. 1011 serial sequence or production span. Compare each case, movement and any independent date evidence.
