Auction and dealer records date individual 1504 watches: Phillips dates white-gold case 1,420,737 to circa 1966; Estates Consignments dates yellow-gold case 2,537,128 to 1970; Eguchi lists case serial 2714*** as 1971; The W3674 listing assigns its masked 27xxxx serial to 1972; EveryWatch preserves a yellow-gold auction description dated circa the 1970s for case 2,472,771. Sotheby’s 2019 catalogue repeats Phillips’s case 1,420,737, so it is the same watch, not another dated specimen. These are lot and dealer dates, not a serial-year chart or production limits.

Auction catalogues date ref. [[Reference:1506|1506]] case 1,117,252 to 1964, case 1,063,296 to circa 1965, and case 1,525,920 to 1967. The first two case numbers run opposite to their catalogue dates, so keep each date attached to its specific watch rather than treating these examples as a serial-year sequence. A seller-dated 1960 example has no visible case number in the available photographs. None of these records establishes the reference’s production span.
