Doesn't look obviously wrong, but I've never seen the patent number (217012) curved on the dial like that.

and, according to this source the patent number curved is right:

ca. 1950's Chronomat ref 769
The Chronomat dial was redesigned with the arabic hour markers being replaced by applied polished batons with double batons at 12 o'clock. The Swiss patent number +217012 on the dial was now curved. The model ref was still 769 and the movement remained the Venus 175.

Alan's a reliable source so I'll take his word for it.

No problem with incabloc, it was invented in 1934.
