Abstract: Let $H$ be a complex Hilbert space and let $mathcalC$ be a conjugacy class of finite rank self-adjoint operators on $H$ with respect to the action of unitary operators. We suppose that $mathcalC$ is formed by operators of rank $k$ and for every $AinmathcalC$ the dimensions of distinct maximal eigenspaces are distinct. Under the assumption that $dimHge4k$ we establish that every bijective transformation $f$ of $mathcalC$ preserving the commutativity in both directions is induced by a unitary or anti-unitary operator, i.e. there is a unitary or anti-unitary operator $U$ such that $f(A)=UA{U}^{\ast }$ for every $AinmathcalC$. A simple example shows that the condition concerning the dimensions of maximal eigenspaces cannot be omitted.
