AP RO 5402 A-Series: what is the lowest number known to still exist?
Hi all
Short inquiry with the AP experts: what is the lowest A-Series number you have ever spotted known to exist, be it in auctions or other. I guess one quite well known is the A-88 that was in auction at Antiquorum in 2012. I think there was also an A-32, also with Antiquorum in 2011, but it had a replacement dial.
Curious to hear your "finds". (pictured is my "Karl" A-12xx, I also have a "normal" A-81x and I might share an early A-xx in a few weeks time)
Best regards, HSTE

It belongs to a friend of mine. It belongs to a friend of mine. We see too many "strange" dial, from white to blue, without any real and official evidences that has ever been manufactured. But it seems nobody is interested in finding the truth out ...
Ah, interesting, is that an A-26? I had...
