The present example , cased in white gold , has always been the rarest metal among the DateJust family . Preserved in excellent and original condition , the present watch is fitted with a very charismatic dial . The case still retains its original proportion , fluted bezel is still very crisp . The hallmarks are as sharp as they should be . It is rare to find a white gold DateJust in such condition but rarest still , for the watch to include its original paperwork .
