Notes

Recently discovered in Osaka, this first owner Datejust has been kept in fabulous condition. Not only does it comes with its original outer box (still with its reference sticker in place), it also comes with its matching punched warranty and COSC. It also features a galvanic black gilt dial kept in near mint condition and a rare non luminous "slope" index dial and non luminous hands, a true collectors dream.

Provenance

Property of a Japanese Gentleman
