·That salmon colored dial is very rare, no more than a handful would have been made. Not sure if the case is WG or platinum. I have an extensive catalogue of AP perpetual calendars and that one does not show up. In general AP made very few of them in white metal.
The first generation AP's made from 1978 to 1993 are stellar values....they are readily available as they made about 7,300 of them during that period. You can get one for less than $10k, add in a service and you have a great perpetual calendar that will run circles around any of the new stuff at 4x the price, and they are thin, less than 8mm.
Movado made some really nice TDM pieces IMO, although I've never owned one. Here is a photo of one that was sold by Matthew Bain. This particular reference is only 34mm, but some of them are slightly larger.
I'll take a Movado like that any day!
In 1990 I was living in Jakarta & was offered a Movado Moonphase that was stunning!
Plus a lot of money at the time.
So stunning I could not trust myself.
Still regret turning it down.
When you say that some are slightly larger, can you tell me a model & year?
