Is there any letter/number date code on the back?  I am thinking this might be an international model due to the serial number being unique.  If you open it up please take a pic of the inside of the caseback and movement and post it in the comments.  There may be a date code inside or at least on the movement.

Certainly looks like an International model. Didn't find a match on my first run through.  Will keep looking.

Look intl to me also.  I also think this watch might be 14kt or 18kt gold.  Has the look of solid gold.

Closest match I could find is from the 1964 International book #153. States 18k gold, but hands are different.

Subject watch is not confirmed solid gold, but leading serial number looks to be a #-. 

Going with International model until further details provided.

Nice find Ken. Lets ID as a 1964 Bulova International #516123 for now.

I also agree that the case looks solid gold. What a beauty.

I agree Stephen, based on the serial number I too think it's International.
