The white dial is classically elegant, featuring black Roman numerals and leaf hands, an aesthetic that is prevalent in many watches from this era.

Lastly, the watch is powered by a quartz movement, a feature many grab-and-go collectors will appreciate. This comes with its presentation green leather folio that actually can hold the watch as well as a "Certificate d' Origine" hard cover book that is blank inside. It also comes with an AP catalog dated 1989 that shows a similar example watch inside. This watch was intended for a mans wrist when it came out, but would be suitable for anyone today. If you are in the market for a classic gold time & date watch and have a "set it and forget it" mindset this is worth considering!
