Notes

Often gifted to dignitaries or commercial partners of the Kingdom, this watch was given to the father of the consignor while in business in Saudi Arabia. Worn on a very few occasions with both reference and serial numbers untouched (they often are no longer present as the Universal engravings were very faint), it is in close to new condition.
