Black Hands on a Datejust

Were any datejusts ever manufactured with black hands and a black crown on the dial? I'm looking at a 1601, and the rest of it looks good, but I've never seen that before.

Black hands were on a roman dial, but the crown was silver. I have seen also a gold crown, also with roman dial and black hands, in a watch sold in the Emirates. Never seen a black one, but I am no expert.

The crown on the dial is either in stainless steel, white/yellow gold. However, it might appear black because of the reflection of the camera.
