Instantly recognizable as a platinum Day-Date from the gorgeous and very exclusive ice-blue colored dial made especially for platinum watches from Rolex, this spectacular timepiece is elevated even further by the Arabic calendar and Arabic numerals. Moreover, this exceptional Day-Date is offered in excellent condition with light surface level scratches and signs of handling, and even retaining some of its factory stickers.
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.
