Instantly recognizable as a platinum Day-Date from the gorgeous and very exclusive ice-blue colored dial made especially for platinum watches, this spectacular watch is elevated even further by featuring an Arabic calendar and Arabic numerals. Moreover, this exceptional Day-Date is offered in near-mint condition being almost unworn and it is accompanied by the full set of accessories.
Rolex was producing watches with Arabic dials from as early as the 1950s in order to cater to the requirements of the Middle Eastern market, such watches were usually only made by special request and were not part of the mainstream production. Indeed, it was not until 2016 that the company introduced the Day-Date 40 ‘Arabic’ Edition. These contemporary timepieces are only supplied to very select retailers in the Middle East and are incredibly rare.
