ROLEX, CELLINI REF. 4112, A GOLD WRISTWATCH WITH THE NATIONAL EMBLEM OF SAUDI ARABIA

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. These timepieces remain collectible today.
