Lot Essay
A man of exquisite taste and also a watch enthusiast, Sultan Qaboos bin Said al Said, the former ruler of Oman owned and offered as gifts innumerable timepieces. Some of these, blessed with never-before-seen personalisations of the dial, simply made modern horology history as symbols of the ultimate level of watch collecting.
The degree of personalisation indicates the level of appreciation the Sultan wishes to demonstrate to the recipient. A simple merit deserves the Crest of Oman (Khanjar) on the dial or the back of the timepiece, while extraordinary appreciation is expressed with a watch featuring the ‘Qaboos’ signature.
The present reference 1802 has Qaboos signature beautifully printed in green. The dial is set with diamond-set numerals, the case is in classic pink gold, making this "Day-Date" a truly rare and sought-after example.
