·I started an excel sheet collecting info about Centenaires(and I will expand it to 3000 line at least) and I noticed a curiosity.
I found this Centenaire 71 in a watch dealers website
It has an engraving for 25 years of service in Jan 5 1958. Its case number is 5204958(and movement serial number 5472888)
However according to published eterna serial numbers tables the case would be made in 1965(and movement in 1967) which is of course consistent with the general design of this watch(stick hands instead of dauphine)
How do you explain it; Is it possible that the company awarded this man the watch in 1967 for 25 years of service completed in January 1958, 9 years later after the fact;
