Auction catalogues date individual 1005 examples from circa 1962 through the 1970s. Case 826,301 | Auction catalogues date individual 1005 examples from circa 1962 through the 1970s. Case 826,301 appears in both Sotheby’s 2020 and Bonhams 2022 catalogues; the matching case number identifies the same pink-gold watch. Sotheby’s dates it to circa 1962 and Bonhams to circa 1963. Other catalogue dates include cases 903,017 (circa 1962), 926,416 (circa 1963), 1,050,796 (circa 1964), 1,176,167 (with an inside caseback date code II.65), 1,177,843 (circa 1966), 1,801,509 (circa 1968), 1,586,108 (catalogued circa 1971, with a guarantee booklet dated 22 December 1971), 3,021,909 (circa 1971), 3,367,203 (London import mark for 1973), and 3,921,444 (circa 1974). These are catalogue dates and component marks, not a production chronology. Sotheby’s dated case 7,126,615 to circa 1995. That conflicts with the usual serial-number estimates, which place numbers in this range in the early 1980s. The lot is an outlier; the available records do not establish the production end date or total. | ||

Auction records show champagne, gilt, gold-toned, silvered, black and white dials. Bonhams describes the pale champagne dial on its 1973 London-import example with gilt baton markers, black outer minute divisions, luminous five-minute dots and gilt hands with luminous inserts. Artcurial’s 1966 rose-gold example has a silver dial with rose-gold markers and leaf hands. | Auction records show champagne, gilt, gold-toned, silvered, black and white dials.

Christie’s also catalogued a yellow-gold example with a gold dial and diamond-set markers. The catalogue documents the watch as sold; it does not establish when or by whom the dial was set. | ||

Artcurial catalogued a 14k Coca-Cola award watch whose bezel appears plain in its photographs. These records conflict with the fluted bezel seen on other 1005s. The catalogues do not establish whether the bezel was replaced or the reference was read from another marking. Check the number between the lugs and the inside caseback separately; the caseback stamp alone does not settle the reference. | ||
Auction catalogues document 14k and 18k yellow gold, 18k pink gold, steel cases with gold bezels, and steel-and-gold two-tone examples. | |||

Case 826,301 appears in both Sotheby’s 2020 and Bonhams 2022 catalogues; these are two appearances of the same watch. Two other lots were unsold at their estimates. Results reflect these lots and do not establish a general price range for the reference. | ||
