"Maybe for the more expensive watches?".

Yes, possibly for 14k Cartouches. Heres a pic from my collection showing the closest match to my box, many similarities but biggest difference is mine lacks metal clasp other than that they are close, minor difference the colour. Key similarities, size, false bottom, notched black velvet pad for ribbon attachment, etc. I'll have to dub czech but I think thid dates from 1929. And I believe my box predates what I am showing here.
Deleted the second photo bc it was only confusing what I was saying.
