Lot Essay

The present reference 16013 is a rare and extremely well-preserved example of a Rolex Datejust, still retaining the original protective green sticker to the case back.

It was supplied to the United Arab Emirates armed forces, denoted by the dial featuring their emblem which consists of a golden falcon, the UAE flag, and seven stars representing the federation of seven emirates.
