Called "surgeon cuffs" or "working cuffs".
From the web:
Q: I recently purchased two Donna Karan signature-edition suits. The suits are great, but a friend in the fashion industry tells me a truly great suit has functional buttons on the sleeves. Is this true?
A: Functional sleeve buttons usually indicate a bespoke suit. Men who spend a lot on their suits like to show it off by leaving a sleeve button or two unbuttoned. Of course, you could take your Donna Karan suits to the tailor at your dry cleaner’s, have the buttonholes opened up for a few dollars per hole and then go back to your friend and tell him you’re now wearing a truly great suit.
