Does this reference exist?

I've been thinking about pulling the trigger on a 176 but part of me really likes the way the polished bezel looks on luminors. Not enough to push me towards a steel model, but I wanted to make sure I'm not missing a goldilocks combo.

Is there a reference which has these traits?

44mm luminor case in titanium, brushed finish
polished bezel (titanium ideally, but steel is fine if that's a thing)
manual wind (I want sub-15mm thickness)
no date
black sandwich dial
300m ideally, but 200m minimum WR

Thanks!

I think the closest reference you'll find that carries those traits is the PAM172. But it's tantalum, rather than titanium. It's otherwise quite rare, to my knowledge, to have a non-1950 style luminor with a brushed case and polished bezel

Thanks for the reply! I had never seen that reference nor had I any idea that tantalum was used (by anybody) for a watch case.
