I'm looking for the ref. 8809, can't find it somewhere.
Only this little picture.
Is this ref. extremely rare?

This pic comes from a compilation made by Lester Harrison some years ago , using B catalogs +scissors and paste . Precisely it is n°16 _ page 1/3.

Imho it is an illustration and not a photo . Never had a confirmation of this version in the real world . It would implicate the existence of a 24h version of the cal.12 .

well Phil, that version clearly exists w/ the 1809 - but haven't seen the 8809 in any catalog or advertisement, so also wondering where Lester got that.

though the same is true for the Chronomat 828, not mentioned anywhere - but clearly manufactured as several examples have popped up.
