A Pink Gilt Gloss dial 1601/5
A bit less common and one that can grab the attention of the vintage Datejust collector. A black gloss gilt dial with pink writing and pink hands. Ever see another like it or better yet do you have one? Sorry about the dust on the crystal. The dial is very clean under the crystal. I bought this just shortly after college. Time passes quickly .
Update: Serial number range is 859,xxx which is about 1963. Tritium dial and Daphine hand combination in transmissional period 1962-1965
