Notes

Property of a Swiss lady
Produced in 1970, this example is a classic example of the Datejust aside from the fact that one can immediately notice the lack of luminous on the dial and the hands. Another interesting feature is the signature on the dial where the word Datejust is clearly separated in two words Date and Just in a font not usually seen at that period.
