With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with raised hour markers in gold in 1954 and its subsequent sale on 8 July 1954 and an additional buckle.

Fresh to the market and according to our research, it would appear that in the mid-1950s, a small series of these dials were made by Patek Philippe's supplier Stern Freres upon special request by Tiffany & Co.

Behave toward others as you would like to have them behave toward you, as in "Of course I'll help him out; it's a case of do unto others, and I may be in the same boat one day". This so-called golden rule is stated in just about every ancient writing about behavioural precepts, including the New Testament, Talmud, Koran and the Analects of Confucius. Among the earliest appearances in English is Earl Rivers' translation of a saying of Socrates (Dictes and Sayenges of the Philosophirs, 1477): "Do to other as thou wouldst they should do to thee, and do to none other but as thou wouldst be done to."

It appears that this rule would also be one of the freemason's principles.
