Thanks Christian. Very informative. I saw one of the yellow gold calenders at the recent phillips auction and thought it was so beautiful... hence was wondering if they would ever make those dials again.

Wonderful explanation! Do you know what year he changed the dials from the older textured process to the newer homogenized one?
From memory it’s around 2003….

I don’t know if some were made in 2004. I think it’s easy to spot the difference though.

I’ve seen an Astronomic with a ruthinium dial. When you order this specific watch you get a broad range of options to choose the also seen an other "one off watch" for a top, top client with ruthinium.
Great post!

I knew the broad strokes about this, as early clients were very vocal about the dial inconsistency, but I didn't know any of the details you mentioned. Thank you for this detailed post!
