Direct quote from VC:
"The Historiques Chronograph in yellow gold with a black dial has gold
hands. The model in yellow gold with a silver dial has black oxidized
chronograph hands. Apparently, the timepiece in the photograph originally
had a black dial but was then switched to a silver dial, but the hands of
the original black dial version were kept and that is why this piece has
gold hands all around."
I hope this helps cleats things up for you.
