Breitling Confusion

Greetings, gentlemen!

I have a 1969 Navitimer ref 806 in 18K - however the back piece is in stainless steel (?)

I had it at a very reputable local watchmaker a couple of years ago for a cleaning and tune-up, and he did'nt say anything about that at that time. I just became aware of it as "different" lately, after looking at a Breitling Site.

Was this an option on the gold one ,to have a SS back?

Thanks, Michael

case is gold filled to 20 microns
Agreed, Only the 18K full gold ones have a gold back as well and hallmarks on the case

I attached some pics of a NOS 18K Gold 806 to show what I mean
