Description: This 1601 Blue dial Datejust has been transforming for some time. The usual deep blue dial has aged into a pastel “Colnago” shade of blue. Tropicalization is not a linear process and dials undergo accelerated period of wear depending on a lot of factors. We can see that this dial has begun shifting, and the lighter blue shade is an early indication of where it’s headed. The case is amazing on this piece and lugs appear long and thick. The lume is also another standout feature with strong notes of yellow hue and full lume plots. 

Dial: Tropical pastel blue

Insert: Fluted

Hands: Original hands

Case: Excellent

Bracelet: Leather
