The exotic models came in the old days with a lozenge shaped box with a hinged lid and an outer box but I am not sure what the latest ones have. They also dispensed with the leather document wallet a couple of years back and you get a "book" with the warranty card and manual inside it instead now. If one you buy has the old wallet, do make sure it has the information cards and instruction sheet as well as the warranty one.

Thanks for the info Roger.
Hard to believe you get a wonder with a manual wind watch! Still useful to keep one of your automatic pieces on, way better than a box which will never be used.
