Note: The printed catalog description states that the number on the dust cover and movement match. They are in fact two numbers apart. The error is corrected here and will be announced in the errata at the live auction. The case and movement here are definitely original to each other. Detailed research by American watch scholars support the fact that none, or possibly only one of the Premier Maximus models in existence, have matching numbers.
