In a certain light, The ghost grey dial makes it looks like the white painting just vanishes, like a ghost (hench the nickname). Yet in other lights, the grey dial and writing is there for all to see. A stainless steel folded Jubilee bracelet, a white gold fluted bezel and a ghost patina dial with an applied baton index. As stylish and unique as a Datejust can get! This piece dates back to 1971, has the classic pie pan dial in combination with acrylic crystal. The 36mm-measuring, stainless steel case houses the self-winding caliber 1570.
