We always love to see a yellow gold Datejust, especially when fitted with a plexiglass crystal and given a sportier feel by a smooth bezel — in this case, the rarer reference 1600/8.

This example features a beautiful matte, cream-coloured Buckley dial, named after the legendary New York dealer John Buckley, who is known for his love of these dials.

The 36mm yellow gold case is strong, with a nicely defined 18k yellow gold smooth bezel. The dial is in excellent condition, with crisp black text and Roman numerals, and is complemented by matching black hands. We especially love the warm yellow lume plots. The slow-set movement has been fully serviced by our watchmaker.

This watch possesses a presence that time has rarely repeated — just look at it.

We always have a good selection of Datejusts available, so feel free to get in touch and let us help you find your dream example.
