Also as rare is the Tudor version with roughly the same number of Square Crowns going to the French Marine Nationale - some believe ALL Squares went to the French Navy ; ) . With 200 or so of all Square Crowns, combined Rolex & Tudor, believed to originally produced - how many are left?

For comparison, 1959 Square Crown 7928
