Vintage Vaccheron Chrono Question

 
 By: Szaks : November 27th, 2014-06:40
Calling on Vacheron experts...can someone tell me if they have seen a VC Chrono with only the lettering "BASE 30 PULSATIONS" at the top of the dial above 12? Take a look at the picture attached. Appreciate the help....  

I saw some but not with this wording so perfectly centered. [nt]

I just would have expected to see "GRADUE POUR" instead of "BASE"

Yes. Agreed.

Like on tis picture shamelessly borrowed to the web... ...  

Any idea why this 4178 would have this much of a difference

Other examples found

Your 4178 typically read GRADUE POUR 30 PULSATIONS but a couple of 1940s examples on Antiquorum had BASE 30 PULSATIONS (for English market I assume) with 12 o'clock centered between the P and U. They also had the 200 scale at 9 minutes. Is there SWISS at ... 

Which Antiquroum auction was it? [nt]
