Obsessed with wordings on dial...

lately I have been obsessed with wordings on dial. To the extent when I choose to buy a Grand Seiko, I chose the old model which has SEIKO, GS and Grand Seiko all on one dial. It feels retro.


I'm also liking the automatique wording on JLC reverso. 

I have a question here. Does anyone know of any other Patek watches with the word 'Automatic' written on the dial other than the 5050 baton model that was designed in 1993.

I'm curious how they use such wording on the dial. In 5050, it is interestingly curved. Overall feel elegantly retro.

which year was this Royal Oak 15300 made? Does modern Royal Oak still have such writing? I would say the wording suits the Royal Oak vibe, which feels kinda retro.

The 15300 was made until 2012 I believe

It’s successor the 15400 (41mm) also has the automatic script. However, the new 15500 does not.

Mine has writing

that I just discover of myself. These writings really have a strong retro/vintage vibe.
