Help identifying an Autavia 73663

Hi I'm new to this forum having just found it and was hoping someone could please help me identify an Autavia that I've come across:

1. It has ref # 73663 in between the bottom lugs and ostensibly a serial number '200##4' between the top lugs
2. It has a black dial with 3 white subdials
3. Hands are painted orange with centre lume strips on the hour and minute with a solid orange second hand
4. Hour markers are painted orange short sticks with painted numbers below (except for 3 and 9)
5. Bezel is black with both minutes and hours
6. Crystal is acrylic
7 It appears to be manual wind but I have not attempted to wind the watch as the hand at the second register has fallen off and it obviously needs repair/servicing

Problem is I have scoured various web resources and am unable to find any pictures of this particular model or any reference to it. Am I missing something?

Apologies for not posting pictures but I cannot currently post any.

Any help appreciated.
