Lot Essay

The present ref. 1500 was supplied to the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Defence, distinguished by the personalised dial with the UAE crest above 6 o'clock. Of particular interest is the "Quraysh Hawk", printed in different 'padded layers', creating a tri-dimensional effect. At the centre of the hawk, symbol of the United Arab Emirates, is a polychrome enameled Dhow or Arabian sailboat, which is replaced today by the U.A.E. federation flag.
