Looks fine other than some polishing which is evident on the lugs, not the original box though.

What box should it have?

Pretty sure it was the older boxes that were wider and had a big pillow.

I have a P serial 16570 myself, lug holes SELs

This would be the original kit:

I’m not sure if it’s the photos but that one you’ve posted here seems to have might soft corners in the case. Maybe it’s the photos, maybe it’s a bad polish job. I’d ask for clear macro photos if I were doing this deal.

I used to own a 1991 version and this was the full kit, although I read that many dealers just

used whatever box was available - one of the many watches I regret selling!

That's a Bufkor box too
