Nice watch! I believe this to be the white dial (yellow gold) version of the Clifton. If so, it's a first for the Db.

1953 Clifton looks like a good match based on the ad indicating white dial available.

Clifton, unknown variant is a great call.

Is it possible that the white dial was another variant..."B" perhaps?

It was offered with black or white dial. Yellow w/ White dial is "A", White w/ Black is "C". It appears there was no "B".

Hmm, but this watch is YELLOW gold with a WHITE dial, that variant is not shown in the advert
