Looks like a fake-arooni to me.

It appears to be the WG version of the Rolex Chameleon...
Here are some examples. Here's a Tudor version:

The were produced starting in the early to mid 1950's and I believe variations on the Chameleon were made over the course of 25 years.

I agree it's a Chameleon
It probably has a calibre 1400, which came in both a 17 jeweled and 18 jeweled version (only Rolex would change the jewel count and not the calibre!) and was also, at 13.75mm, the smallest movement Rolex ever made. Chameleon came in 9kt, 14kt, and 18kt and rose, yellow, or white gold.
