Square 1951 Oyster Perpetual. Model number?

[powerfunk]

This 1951 Oyster Perpetual has a pretty unique-looking square case. The seller currently has it listed for £15,900.00. Does anyone have any idea what the model number is? Or anything else about this model?

Can't be an Oyster with a "snap back" case, so must be a redial.

Numbers inside and outside the caseback appear to have been pixelated to hide them.

It's a refinished dial, on what appears to be a Rolex 4643.

This is a gold cased snap-back watch with a reverse bubbleback shape: the dial and case front are domed to fit the thick automatic mechanism, rather than having a flat front with a domed caseback to accommodate the rotor.

There were some very rare watches fitted with original cloisonne enamel dials, but most were plain metal dials and never signed Oyster...
