I picked up this one as an example. Was curious on the size and look in person. I believe this is a Violet. I was surprised that it was such an early year. The photos on the listing weren't very good and I thought it had a later date code. I am guessing it just wasn't advertised much until 1946.
It is 14k rose gold plate with a stainless back. Have seen it advertised as coral and pink. The dial is a mess but it still looks good on the wrist and I am happy with it as a model example.

Thanks Bob. Yes I found that interesting as well. I had the ad so I used it but in the newspaper advertising it isn't as exaggerated as in the ad above. Many of them exaggerating the crown side which is also not accurate per this example anyway. All these ads are from 1946. I couldn't find anything earlier.
