The case is finished with an \u003cstrong\u003e80-micron thick 14K gold plating\u003c\/strong\u003e, which, due to its durable thickness, retains a beautiful golden luster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial features a \u003cstrong\u003esunburst finish\u003c\/strong\u003e that shines elegantly depending on the angle of light.

This part is not visible when worn as it faces the arm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial remains in very beautiful condition, with the center sunburst finish, indices, and hands being clear. However, there is some light discoloration on the outer edge of the dial due to age, as well as minor scratches on the edge near the 2 o'clock position.
