Question on AT box - wood or leather?

I searched the forums and found that the AT used to come in a wooden box but now they come in red leather boxes. Is this true?

Mine came in a red leather box. I looked at the pictogram card and it says that my watch comes with a boxset #3. The same pictogram #3 is imprinted on the white cardboard box that envelops the red leather box. My question is that whether the red leather box should be the correct box given to me or should I be given the wooden box instead.

Or is it simply bcos the dealer put the wrong box inside the white cardboard box - in this case, the wooden box must be the same size as the red leather box or else it won't fit in the cardboard box.

My model is the 2503.50.00. I've also emailed Bienne but being the weekend, I won't expect an answer so soon.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
