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 excellent condition with well-defined edges on the case and on the bezel.
