Rolex Buckley Dial

The “Buckley Dial” is a vintage Rolex detail cherished by collectors, found on select Datejust and Day-Date models from the 1970s and 1980s. Defined by its painted Roman numerals—often in bold black or white—and matching stick hands, the Buckley dial stands out from the more common applied markers of the era. Named after collector John Buckley, who helped spotlight its uniqueness, this dial adds a graphic, almost neo-classical flair to classic Rolex references. Once overlooked, Buckley dials now enjoy cult status for their quirky charm and throwback appeal.
