If you can’t think of an exact match, how about one that is close?

The closest I can think of is the 328, it ticks all of your boxes except that it has a date.

All autos have dates. Most manuals don’t have dates (233 being a notable exception).
Beyond that, you could also consider what case type (Bettarini or 1950) and what bracelet type (“crown guard” style links or more standard style). |

Well then, if I went with a manual wind, what reference has the rest of the options above? |

Manual wind, bracelet, 44mm...? I still think the 328 is the closest you get actually.

Hmmm, come to think of it, I think metal bracelets are only supplied with automatics. You might be able to source a metal bracelet and add it to a manual PAM, but that needs to be double-checked, as I remember there might be a difference in lugs between bracelet and non-bracelet models. Sorry I don’t remember the details. |

As far as I know, the 005 was never available with a bracelet from factory. So that would have been added by the previous owner.
But more importantly, the bracelet doesn't seem to fit well on the watch, it looks bad! |

Well, after further consideration, I am thinking of a different set up. If, I was OK with a chronograph movement, with no date, with crown guard, with a steel bracelet…. What reference would you recommend?
