Was the 116508 ever offered with the blue Arabic racing dial?

I know you could option an blue Arabic racing dial on the 523, 528, and 503, but I'm wondering if it was ever offered on the 508.

This photo is from a dealer in Singapore. I spoke with him and he said it was for a short run of 1 year. I did a check with my AD(he worked there for more than 10yrs) and he said this dial wasn’t offered on 116508.
Can’t be sure who is right though

Interesting. Wondering how else it might be researched.

On the full gold I am pretty sure it was only on the 116528 and not the 116508
