About this watch.

The Day-Date with bark bezel -and preferably matching bracelet as missing in this particular one- mustve been a popular choice in the seventies and early eighties, as witnessed by their abundance in the market. The present example, part of a 2013 Christies sale, features a somewhat weathered example of the Vignette dial in green with diamond-set hour markers.
