Note du spécialiste

The present reference 1607 is part of the watches made on special order for the Sultan. Its dial is adorned with the red Qaboos signature, a rare feature itself.

Preserved in very good overall condition, this watch is furthermore a nice example of the rare reference 1607, distinguished by the bark-finish decoration to its bezel, rendering it a very unique look.
