About this piece
The reference that started every collection
A 2021 Datejust 41 in Oystersteel with a fluted white gold bezel, presented on the Jubilee bracelet with a concealed Crownclasp. The slate dial has aged evenly, the applied indices are unmarked, and the fluting still throws light the way it did the day it left Geneva.
This example arrived to us from its first owner with the full set — outer box, inner box, warranty card dated March 2021, swing tags and booklets. It has never been polished, so the lug bevels and case flanks retain their original geometry: the detail collectors notice first and the one you cannot get back.
Our watchmaker opened it on intake, ran it across five positions and returned +2 seconds a day against a 70-hour power reserve. It needs nothing. Wear it.
Graded on the bench, not from a photo
9.2Excellent — unpolished
Light surface marks consistent with careful wear. No dents, no dings on the lugs, no bracelet stretch. Case has never been refinished.
What we found
- ✓ Two hairlines on the case back, only visible under a loupe at an angle
- ✓ Minimal stretch at the clasp end links — measured, within tolerance
- ✓ Crystal and Cyclops free of chips or scratches
