What a beauty, love it! Interesting that it is a two layer construction with an inner yellow gold and outer platinum shell. Is this because white gold at this time was still hard to compose?

I am still trying to figure out the construction. Let me revise a bit.
Where the data on the inner caseback is stamped, clearly white gold (don't be decieved by reflection)But the support collar around the caseback, I'm positive now, is actually green gold.

Outer shell is platinum.

Platinum top for sure.
