Asymmetric Rolex box what models were these used for

Hello
I have this asymmetric Rolex box and wondered what models they were used for I wondered if these were for the asymmetric Rolex king Midas and asymmetric cellinis originally or were they just used for any models of the period
Thanks in advance

Nice vintage box, probably around 1950s, could have been used for any models.

Here is a nice write up, not all inclusive:

The Cellini's on straps had long thin rectangular boxes so not this one. King Midas had Grecian urn shaped boxes.

Creation Geneve boxes were often used for presentation watches like sporting awards, or the corporate anniversary or commemorative models.
