With patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of this watch with applied gold hour markers in 1951 and its subsequent sale on August 17th, 1951.
Steel 96s are usually set with flat indexes and leaf hands. But the present watch is extremely rare as it's set with lapped indexes and dauphine hands. As far as I know this configuration is less than five known in the market. Furthermore the present watch is the only known example with 12-120 and HL indexes.
