Datejust "Blue Tritium Dial"

Bluish Purple Dial!

Depending on the light, the color of this beautiful Datejust Ref. 16200 from 1989 shifts between blue and purple - simply beautiful! The luminous dots on the original dial from that year are stamped with tritium luminous material "T Siwss Made T". Upon closer inspection, you will see slight flaking of the blue paint layer on the dial under the date magnifier, revealing the underlying golden brass. This individuality, previously referred to as "damage", makes this watch unique.

The case is in good condition. Light signs of wear and scratches are visible. Several metal stains can be seen on the case back, which can be polished out without any problems if necessary. The crystal has minimal chips between 6 and 8 o'clock, but these are only visible upon very close inspection. As stated, we can polish the watch upon request and for an additional charge.

The clasp is stamped with "N6" and is therefore perfectly matching the year of the watch. The strap itself is in almost perfect condition with hardly any stretch or signs of wear.

Inside beats the Caliber 3135. A movement that replaced its predecessor, the 3035, in the early 90s and was only replaced in 2019 after almost 30 years. It doesn't get more reliable than that.

The watch has been fully serviced by our atelier.
