When I was in college I broke into my father's wine collection and drank some of those Rothschilds. The same label and everything as the top one (I think it was from the mid 60s though I could be wrong on the date). I will never forget that label, because when I was caught I was told how much what I drank that night cost. I stuck to stealing his Dom Pérignon after that...

The artwork for the Mouton Rothschild labels is designed by a different artist every year. The year with the Chagall artwork was 1970 (you can see the year on the label in the top photo). The second picture, with the Picasso label, was the 1973 vintage.
.. unfortunatly the black is too dry, there are deeper blacks, more versatile ( JLC duolunaire for example ) This one is too rigid. I agree with you, the silver dial of the Rg is much more an eye candy.
Few watches strike me as having such different "personalities" in different metals. As different as red Bordeaux vs. a sweet Riesling or Sauterne . . . .
