The Buckley dial is one of the rarer variations of the Datejust series and stands out because of its black Roman numerals and hands instead of the usual gold. The strong contrast between the black markers and hands on the white dial guarantees perfect readability and exudes classic elegance.
The watch is in good condition with perfect luminous dots and hands. Despite small traces of wear, the case is in excellent condition, the bezel is sharp, the case is unpolished in our opinion. The movement is also spotlessly clean and has a silver hairspring.
