Wow! What # endlinks does it have?
Its is very hard to read because the first digit is badly cast, rounded at the bottom, missing the upper half, but I think I can see a remnant of a 3,
the second digit is clearly visible as 1, so 31 (or 61 or 81), most likely 31.
I hope that other owners of gold 7077 will chime in and let us know...

Get rid of that cyclops Erich and it will be a beautiful watch.

😉

Edit, forgot to add the 😉.
I guess this was meant as a joke - right? Or did you really see a cyclops? If so you need new spectacles, there is a low dome smooth crystal without any cyclops 😉

Congrats! And I didn't know about the rose patinating into yellow and was wondering why my rose gold cases are pretty much yellow 😁

It’s indeed a 31, at least all my solid gold 7077s have this number stamped on the endlinks. Due to their special form, exclusive to the gold versions, there is less space for a number at the back of the endlinks, which makes reading them difficult at times.

We‘ve talked about this one via PM, Erich, at a point at which neither of us had any idea it was rose gold. What a spectacular find. It’s not easy to pick up a YG example. To find a RG one, though… It‘s of a rarity that surely qualifies to be part of even a collection like yours. I‘m excited for you!

Dear Matthias,
thank you for the confirmation of the number on the end links - I thought you were the person who will know.
Yes, the bracelet being rose gold was a surprise...
Thank you for your kind words.
best regards
