I know Ref. 6115A., a descendent of Ref. 6115, with shorter and thicker lugs and a textured dial (see picture below).

It is fitted with a Cal. 1003/1, whose finishing appears to differ from the earlier Cal. 1003 iterations. But I tend to enjoy these later interpretations of the classical 1955 ultra-thin dress watch: it is not an hommage like the contemporary "Historiques" line models, but rather a desperate attempt to preserve something from a then already bygone era of watchmaking. Please excuse the poor photography skills.

I admire your exemplary, which I consider very elegant.

The movement

Thank you! This is the 1003 movement of this watch. The barrel bridge was replaced by VC Geneva. Notice how the Geneva wave lines still line up between new and old. ...
I wholeheartedly agree

Cost twice as much to have the watch serviced by VC as it did to buy it in the first place. But I see it as a continuation of the piece by VC
