Auction catalogues record a riveted Oyster 7205 with 57 end links, a 7205 with no. 60 end links, an Oyster 78350/557, and a Jubilee 6251H. These are observed lot configurations; original delivery is unverified. Phillips lists a DE2 clasp on its 78350 bracelet, while Antiquorum dates the clasp on one 7205 bracelet to 1970. A clasp date belongs to the bracelet, not the watch head.
Antiquorum records a riveted Oyster 7205/57, Phillips lists an Oyster 78350/557, and Bonhams records a Jubilee 6251H. Christie’s reports its blue-dial lot with a 7205 and no. 60 end links; the lot photograph also shows a 60 stamp. This confirms the marking on that example, not a general fitment rule or original delivery. Phillips lists a DE2 clasp on its 78350 bracelet, while Antiquorum dates the clasp on one 7205 bracelet to 1970. A clasp date belongs to the bracelet, not the watch head.


The Antiquorum 1963 example came with a guarantee and receipt. A 1970 Antiquorum lot included a box, warranty and certification leaflets. Bonhams records a box and outer card with its circa-1974 lot. These records document those particular packages; standard contents by reference and date are unknown.
