Lot Essay

Made as a special order for governments or prominent royals to mark important events or milestones, these 'Arab dial' timepieces were never available for public consumption in retail stores. It was common practice among Gulf royals to gift watches with their signature or the official coat-of-arms on the dial. Eventually these watches found their way into the secondary or vintage market after those that received these watches sold them on.

The present timepiece belongs to an exceedingly small series of Omega Seamaster commissioned with the portrait of Sheikh Isa Bin Salman Al Khalifa, the former Emir of Bahrain.

The condition of lots sold in our auctions can vary widely due to factors such as age, previous damage, restoration, repair and wear and tear. Their nature means that they will rarely be in perfect condition. Lots are sold "as is," in the condition they are in at the time of the sale, without any representation or warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to condition by Christie's or by the seller.
Any reference to condition in a catalogue entry or in a condition report will not amount to a full description of condition, and images may not show a lot clearly. Colours and shades may look different in print or on screen to how they look on physical inspection. Condition reports may be available to help you evaluate the condition of a lot. Condition reports are provided free of charge as a convenience to our buyers and are for guidance only. They offer our opinion but they may not refer to all faults, inherent defects, restoration, alteration or adaptation because our staff are not professional restorers or conservators. For that reason they are not an alternative to examining a lot in person or taking your own professional advice. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have requested, received and considered any condition report.
