Ah! Picture is here.

I have seen this model before. My notes indicate one was for sale on eBay in March 2011. The Case is a match in my opinion to Import 257, which is 14K pink gold. Shawkey's collector's guide (out of print) indicates is came with a cal 410 or cal 420. The one that sold in 2011 had a 420.

It seems to also be shown in an ad from 1945:

Considering the similarity in style and time frame to this watch, if Monkey's hypothesis is correct (and likely is) that these are low production, you might be in for a long wait.

Hope you find one. I'll keep my eye's peeled for one and will let you know.

Too bad there are not more pictures of the watch:

All I know is based on hard work & writing by others. I can only aspire to augment this body of knowledge. If I am wrong it is because of my own failings. -me
