Summary

A distinctive reference 1601 featuring the highly sought after “ghost” Buckley dial configuration.

The dial presents a subtle ghost effect, where the white Roman numeral printing appears to softly blend into the dial surface under certain lighting conditions, giving the watch an unusually understated visual character.

Buckley dials are seldom encountered on the Datejust. Examples such as this remain among the rarest dial variations produced for the reference 1601, especially with the original tritium lume preserved in this condition.
