La Petite ad from 1978 confirming this model existed as late as 1978. Matches this unknown in case but not in jewel count. The 1979 ad shows the 17J count like the unknown but no name. I propose the 1979 La Petite had the movement down sized to the 17J as shown in the ad to keep costs down as the quartz crisis excelerated.
