Watches bearing this emblem are exceptionally rare, and we’ve written an article about them — you can read it here! While commissions were placed with several prestigious brands, including IWC and Patek Philippe, he is most famously associated with Rolex.

The lower half of the dial is adorned with the striking red Khanjar dagger, crossed swords, and the Royal crown, lending the watch both historical significance and cool presence.

 

The case is in excellent condition, as is the gold fluted bezel. The watch is fitted with the a reference 62523H Jubilee bracelet, with end links stamped 455B and a clasp marked K11.
