Autavia "Orange Boy"
Ref. 1163
Year: 1969 or early 70'ties
Movement: Cal. 11 I
The so called Orange Boy is a nice colourful timepiece especially as it fits the colour of my 1968 Lotus Elan so well.
This one is on an original full length Gay Freres bracelet that adds a lot to the 1970’ties feel of the watch. Full factory length is 7 + 11 links.
The movement is a so called cal. 11 I. That is a cal. 11 that is modified so that it technically is nearly a cal. 12 but it still has the silver colour of the cal. 11 and not the “gold” colour of the cal. 12. As can be seen in the bottom of the picture a small “I” was stamped on the baseplate when the modification was carried out.
