The present example, encased in the latter, is a very captivating rendition of this classic model. Its smooth bezel is a subtle yet defining characteristic that distinguishes it from its more commonly found fluted or engine-turned counterparts. This minimalist design choice enhances the watch’s refined aesthetic, while the sharp and well-defined hallmarks, speaks to the good care with which this timepiece has been preserved. The silver dial is adorned with applied pink gold baton indexes, an exquisite pairing that enhances the watch’s balance and legibility. Whether for the seasoned connoisseur or the discerning enthusiast, this is a Datejust that stands apart, an enduring symbol of elegance and refinement.
