Watson Received Autavia 11630; And Did He Wear It?

Can you please tell us which issue this is in . . . is it issue 55 or issue 56? I'm not certain, based on a review of the QP website. Maybe you can show us the cover, just to be sure?

One question: Watson was awarded this watch for winning the Formula One race, but I wonder whether he wore it subsequently (or did it reside in his "sock drawer")? Any ideas or photos showing Watson actually wearing this Autavia? Maybe the article tells us more of the story?
