Autavia (Second Execution Case) with Rounded Numerals

Earlier today, I was part of a discussion of the Autavias with the funny looking, rounded numerals on the dials. These dials are used in the second execution screw-back cases and are rare, as we have seen fewer than 10 of these, all in the 85xxx and 86xxx serial number range.

Here is an image that shows the difference between the standard numerals on the early Autavia dials and these "rounded" numerals. We see an actual watch with the rounded numerals, as well as a photo / drawing from an advertisement.
