Autavia 2446C GMT -- Polished Hands ? ? ?

On the last of the Autavia 2446C GMTs, we see two very different styles of hands -- brushed and polished.

So here is my question -- We have called the ones with the brushed hands "Mark 4" (and a 195xxx) serial number would be typical. Are the ones with the polished hands a later execution (maybe "Mark 5"??), or are these service hands that might be used on any execution? What is the explanation of these polished hands?
