definitely Franken imho, even the dial seems wrong (subdials & TopTime strange), serial number would put it in 1961, not 1972, looks like Buenos Aires Edition Limitée ?
The Brevet 238872 googles up on Elgin & Universal cases ?
Agreed Franken. Patent is actualy for a movement holder for larger cases issued in 1945 - a springy metal frame that would hold the movement securely - not easy to see whether it is in this watch or not. Also can't find who it was originally licensed to - Elgin and Universal likely licensed it.
