Watch Description

Here is one that has been previously attributed as an SVP model.   We have one like this in the DB but have not been able to find a variant confirmation.  This model is the second 1959 with even number markers we have in the DB.   https://mybulova.com/watches/1959-svp-8780. Confirmed model with this 1959 ad.    By 1960 all SVPs of this case shape have full arabic numbers (SVP VI in the 1960 line book) so not an VI.  Based on this I think prior to 1960 the SVP was just one model with even markers then by 1960 went full arabic as they introduced new variants.   

1959 Bulova SVP no variant.  

This watch is a yellow gold plate with a stainless case back with am L9 date code.   The movement is an 11AF 17J with an L9 date code.  Silver dial with a sub second register and even number hour markers.
