Help me identify this caliber!!!

Hey all, this is my grandpa's Tiffany-signed AP dress watch from 1977 (a gift from my grandma for his 65th birthday). I had it serviced recently and I asked the watchmaker to take some pics of the movement and what not so I could figure out the reference and caliber. So far I haven't had much luck. I know AP didn't do much in the way of reference numbers for some of these old dress watches, but from most of the research I've done, I expected to see a caliber 2003 inside. Also the number 124 is on both the watch and the caseback, but that seems to be a dead end.

Does anyone have any idea what reference or caliber this is??? Thank you!!!

Can you click the Imgur link? The pictures aren’t embedded, you have to click the link. Works fine on my iPhone.

Thanks I got it to work but I can’t help with your question. Why not contact the boutique or email Switzerland, they keep records of every watch ever made.

Didn’t get a response when I reached out to them, guess I can try again, thanks.

Amazing!!! Thank you so much. If you don’t mind me asking, how’d you know or where’d you figure it out?

Well done sir. I guess it’d be too much to ask for a reference number as well? Seems like that 124 doesn’t mean much.

They seem to have had a number of those thin types on C24 and their own site.
It could be worth contacting them, as they may specialise in vintage APs like these, and have more clout with Le Brassus for providing the information you’re seeking.
Equally, it’d do no harm contacting Tifffany’s to see if they maintained good records from that time period.
