The Day-Date with "bark" finish is quickly becoming very collectible in today's watch market, especially for examples in original condition. This example exhibits a crisp, unpolished bark finish on the bezel and bracelet links, quite rare for a watch that is almost 40 years old. The black dial with gilt printing and gold stick markers further increases the appeal.
