The 68273 sits at a sweet intersection of the Datejust line - the last generation of the classic 31mm mid-size format, already fitted with the quickset Caliber 2135 and sapphire crystal that make these watches practical to live with today, while still finished in the vintage codes (tritium lume dots, fluted case flanks, gold-lettered dial) that collectors chase.
