Hi Jenneke,

got my Baguette 505 with serial number 2219556 yesterday and stumbled over yours when trying to ID it (which I finally did). Mine is not yet in a working condition but looks like it's just the stem broken and with it the crown is missing. Should be easily repairable.
The ID brought up the watch being named Bridesmaid, it can be found on pages 53 and 63 in Mike's 1930s book.
Here is a very clear view of it from December '33 with the original band which is still at my watch.
