The specific code 'LN' denotes Lunette Noire for its black dial and bezel, while 'LB' is Lunette Bleu for the sunburst blue dial and bezel. The present example is an early-era Reference 16613LB, dating to circa 1991, featuring drilled lug holes and a particularly attractive patina to its tritium dial. Notably, the blue dial has developed a vibrant purple hue, a sought-after characteristic associated with the aging and chemical alteration of the pigments used in some early examples.
