The Wimbledon dial
Collectors call this slate dial with green Roman numerals the Wimbledon. On the photos the numerals run all round the dial, with a single baton at 9 and the date at 3 under the Cyclops lens. Gold-tone hands contrast with the grey. The rose two-tone mother-of-pearl Datejust is the lighter option in the same size.
