I believe ALL of these are just amazing pieces and...
...each is having pros & cons : early version with pearl minute markers and hard raised enamel dial thus a bit older version (=therefore often Extract of the Archives only because 50 years...) or earlier version with possibly better condition and original papers but no pearl dot minute markers, or leap year indicator for the 3450 thus more recent therefore often original papers available and nice condition but mich higher price tag (last one sold last weekend lot 140 at Christies for 320 KCHF before VAT for Europeans !).
There is no black or white, each option is ok depending on your taste and constraints...
For me this PC for sure is now an absolute keeper of my collection
Cheers,
