It is true that there were different crowns for the reference, but on closer inspection, their application appears to me not to have been related to case metals, but hands. Those with the dauphine hands, like your example, apparently did feature larger crowns.
The problem, as I see it, is that the crown on your example, based on the only photo that you have provided, does not appear to be consistent with what is seen on some other dauphine examples.
In any case, I began this sub-thread by saying that yours is a lovely watch, with a rare dial. Perhaps you missed that part. Or, more likely, you have found my efforts to probe an academic point to be unpleasant. Sorry about that.
Regards,
