A documented sub-variant sits under the reference code 3065/3159, produced exclusively for the London retailer Mappin. These carry a California dial on the hooded-lug case and surface at auction as a distinct configuration rather than a standard 3065 with a Mappin-signed dial. An example appeared at Antiquorum Hong Kong in October 2019 with a hammer result of HKD 55,000 (about USD 7,000 at the period exchange rate), a level consistent with a California-dialed 3065 but with the retailer association driving additional narrative interest. | A documented sub-variant sits under the reference code 3065/3159, produced exclusively for the London retailer Mappin.
