PP Dial makers and suppliers

I was reading through the authorised biography by N Foulkes and noticed in the section on dial making my 5960 gets the briefest of mentions! This section talks about the PP owned dial makers Cadrans Flückiger. There’s also a very informative article on WPZ here by Miranda which goes into much greater detail. So I was surprised a little that the photos I have of a loose dial shows that familiar signature JS on the rear of a 1st generation 5960 dial.

But then I noticed in Miranda’s article that while PP acquired CF in 2004 in 2006 they moved to a new purpose premises in Saint-Imier, so I would assume that Singer was commissioned to make dials during that move in 2006? Does that make sense and does it immediately propel the early 5960’s to legendary mythical collector status?
