Indeed. I am not even sure how many there are. I think they stopped producing the reference in early 1980s.
Some day, I hope I can
Have one myself.
I like it way more than any Ellipse, for instance. In my opinion, it is playing with the rules, without breaking it, or even bending it, in a way that is to some extent very reminiscent of the Art-Déco.

Quite a beautiful piece
Your photo captures it well. FWIW the original strap would have had a 14mm buckle.
I think so - I just measured the lug width and buckle. Think it’s 17/14 as you highlighted.
Do you go so far as to
Purchase a specific period-correct buckle for your watches?
Among mines, there at least two - one from the late 1970's and one from the early 1950's - which are fitted with a contemporary Maltese Cross 18K. closure (I enjoy how the angles and facets on the buckle remind of the angulous designs of the two cases).

Thank you for the info. The one that comes with the watch is the 3rd one from left. Is that the period correct one?
Congrats for finally receiving the piece that you sought for such a long time
Hope you can receive your straps very soon and send us some more pics, this time on your wrist
Thank you. It’s sweat and tears for the past 5 years hunting for this reference, including failed deal in chrono24 that cost me 500euros - due to xrate movement. One i will treasure.
Huge congratulations 🎉🎊🎈
These are truly sublime! Here’s its modern reinterpretation saying hi 👋🏻
I do. Thank you for sharing. 🙏. Love the textured dial. I wish i could see the fabulous 1003 movement at the back.
