Ah, OK, I just know that the original plan had been to release this watch in solid gold. There was unfortunatley no description of the material used nor a price mentioned in the few advertisements showing this stylish watch.
If you are wondering were I got the name from, it is mentioned in the advertisement which was published in the Life magazine in December 1955:
I have been convinced that the case was made by Jonell because of the case serial number, thanks for confirmation.
