Notes
Often the gift of choice for partners, dignitiaries or just friends of the Sultan, a wide variety of watches were given ranging from sport models to Day-Dates. According to our research, examples featuring his majesty's signature were often references 1802 and sometimes the bark-finish reference 1807. Examples such as this one in white gold are exceptionally rare and it is the first example we have had the chance to offer.
