    It's possible, but all the others I've seen have been 1858 date or 1859 day/date, perhaps they where later models. If you have need of opening it one day, it'll be stamped under the balance wheel.

    Yeah, I saw one on Catwiki where the guy was claiming the 60-69 production date. Interestingly, the movement in the watch that he claims is an AS1789 was actually date stamped Oct '71 & the only other examples we've ever seen of date stamped Rado AS movements are cal 1858/9. Additionally, AS1789 is an automatic date only movement, the automatic day /dates of that family being 1709, 1767 & 1806. As you say, he's probably copied and pasted information from somewhere else.
