Oyster datejust 16014 1980 box and papers

Hi folks

Trying to find replacement boxes and papers.

I believe that the green box should be 10.00.01, but I’m unsure whether for that year it should have the cushion or the card insert that the watch slips onto. I would also like to know what the outer sleeve should look like.

Any ideas on the correct oyster booklet would be great as well.

Kind regards

It would be the moonscape box in Europe. There is no outer sleeve. Just the outer box with the moonscape-look and the green inner box. An early 1980s box had the slotted card which held the watch. Around 1984, the box transitioned somewhat with the slotted card being replaced by the cushion.

Thanks, that’s helpful.

Would you be able to describe or detail the correct booklet also?

Kind regards
