Asking about 6694 second hand?

Hi all...
I am just asking about my 6694.
It came from IV.61 on the inside caseback
With brown patina dial
Is this second hand original?
Because it is not came with the blue lollipop second hand

and for comparison on third picture, there is the other 6694 from II.61 caseback too, with the same second hand. But this watch has been sold 2 years ago

Hope I can find some advice on this forum

Asking about 6694 second hand?

My 6426 from late 50s or early 60s did come with blue second hand. But it is actually quite difficult to capture the blue steel color. You will be able to see the blue color under certain angel of strong light.

Looks like the second hand had been replaced at some point. I believe the second hand that came with the gilt leave shape hands had a rounded tail, like this example?



But I'm no expert so please someone correct me if that's not true.
