==Where it sits in the line==

Like ref. 2736, the 2356 is a plain, un-nicknamed rectangular Prince ~~from~~ the ~~1930s —~~ no case-shape name attaches to ~~it in the surfaced auction record~~. The two references differ in construction: 2736's documented cases carry an integrated stepped, faceted profile, where both documented 2356 cases use fixed wire lugs, a simpler and more common rectangular-watch attachment of the period. Both documented 2356 examples are 9ct gold; unlike 2736, no steel example has surfaced for this reference.

Like ref. 2736, the 2356 is a plain, un-nicknamed rectangular Prince in the two Bonhams records reviewed here; no case-shape name attaches to those lots. The two references differ in construction: 2736's documented cases carry an integrated stepped, faceted profile, where both documented 2356 cases use fixed wire lugs, a simpler and more common rectangular-watch attachment of the period. Both documented 2356 examples are 9ct gold; unlike 2736, no steel example has surfaced for this reference.

Line 61:

The two documented examples carry different dial layouts, though neither is confirmed by photography at a resolution this project can publish (see Case, bezel, crystal, and crown below). Case 474** (1938) has a silvered dial with applied gilt Arabic numerals, a black outer minute track with five-minute markers, and blued steel dagger hands. Case 15182 (1936) has a silvered dial with black baton hour markers and Arabic quarters at the quarter-hours, the same style of outer minute track, and blued steel spade hands.

~~With~~ two documented ~~examples and catalogue~~ text as the only description of either dial, this is ~~recorded as the reference's full known dial range rather than~~ a ~~settled variant table~~.

The two Bonhams examples are recorded here as documented dial variants. Catalogue text is the only description available for either dial, so this is not a complete factory or surviving-watch survey.
