Hi, I have this watch that has been with my family a lot of years. I knew that the bracelet wasn’t the original so i decided to get a leather one. I saw that it says registered design 16014, the problem is that the watch doesn’t have quickset and it has a “pie pan” dial, which doesn't match with the model 16014 (i read this in different websites). A watcher saw it and says that it genuine, but I have that doubt. I hope you can help me.

Are you sure it does not have quickset?
Even fakes have it.
Pictures tell me nothing

Your watch has likely been overhauled, parts were likely replaced, and might not be functioning properly.

A 16014 should have the fluted gold bezel, the this one looks like the machined bezel.

At a quick glance, and without the details it looks like it ought to be a 1603. As has been said it's possible that parts have been swapped, although if it has no quickset (my 1601 doesn't) could it be that most of its workings are in-fact from the earlier reference or the reference itself is wrong?

These old Datejust's always seem to have mismatched parts.
