If you are talking about the movement: No. The cal 470 is pretty common. For rare you'd have to go back to the 1910s or for a cased watch, notch it up to 14K or platnium. Wadsworth would do some one-offs for Gruen; they had a pretty good working relationship. Every so often, an an exec from Gruen (or just an employee) would request a case of fine metal rather than just goldfilled. Charley Cleves has documented this pretty well.

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
