The present GMT-Master wristwatch is one of the exceedingly rare watches, all brands and models combined, featuring exclusively the red signature of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum on the dial. Before he took over as the ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed served as the UAE’s first Defence Minister. These watches were most likely given away as gifts or as tokens of appreciation.
More commonly found in combination with the UAE crest, watches sporting only his signature are among the rarest of these personalised timepieces. A highlight for the connoisseur of rare timepieces, this GMT-Master is furthermore preserved in extremely appealing overall condition.
The combination of exceptional rarity, royal provenance, and very good overall condition render this GMT-Master a real catch for collectors.
Provenance: Sotheby’s, Dubai, March 2019
