Then it's either the "CATHERINE," or the "MARIE..." IF the vertical sides are slightly, CURVED??? (i.e. "MS" or "Military," "Square," vs. "Square.." which would be FLAT vs. CURVED on all four ides, in such a case... (PUNN INTENDED...) At a glance, the four (perimeter) sides all appear FLAT, however???
Not sure (Stephen) WHY I can't edit my first reply, above??? (As I wasn't finished...)
On second thought, this is the HIGH END (solid 14 karat, with diamonds and rubies) model... and therefore is not likely listed (by namesake) in the 1942 BB glass crystal catalog? Which would most likely "name" only the HIGHEST production models, with such limited space and lesser demand, for ltd. editions???)

They appear to be flat rather than slightly curved, perhaps it is a model that will only be found when an advert pops up. Would it be likely that one of the glass crystal companies would have made this or again could it be the case that as it was not common they wouldn't have made it?

TOUCHE' ...
And no mention of a Lady B from 1941/2/3 in G-S, SUC, or Perfit or BB catalogs, taking a 12.1 or 12.2mm w/FLAT square, proportions... So certainly NOT very "common..." And likely then only around -1 to perhaps 3% of that design (case style) sported that movement, with those stones, in solid 14 karat gold??? Therefore I'd classify it as "RARE," vs. "SCARCE?" (Just a "hunch??" :-)
