Which is for sure there, Liz.
Same dial, and might be even same case, at least the form of the lugs is the same and probably the width of the bezel. So this could well be the same case but studded with diamonds as an anniversary high end version and white instead of yellow gold.
The advertised Jubilee series included Strap 850 (Heirloom), Strap 849 (Triumph, which I own already), Strap 855 (Autowind Distinction), Strap 856 (Curvex Heritage) and Strap 844 (Park Avenue). All these watches are in the absolute vicinity in the Catalogue, may the whole range are Jubilee models with not all of them having been advertised as such?
If the watch had been yellow instead of white gold I would have assumed that a jeweler had modded the case to make a one off, but it would have been hard for him to change the alloy so I assume that this watch is official.
