The Rolex Day-Date II is a stunning example of horological craftsmanship and exclusivity. Crafted entirely from platinum, this timepiece radiates a refined elegance that distinguishes it from other luxury watches. Its Ice Blue dial, a signature feature of platinum Rolex models, adds a touch of sophistication, while diamond-set Roman numerals lend an opulent sparkle to the design. The 41mm Oyster case, combined with the President bracelet, ensures both durability and comfort, embodying Rolex's renowned commitment to quality and precision.


What makes this particular example truly exceptional is the rare royal Khanjar emblem engraved on its case back, signifying its connection to Oman's royal family. This emblem is a hallmark of watches specially ordered by the Sultanate of Oman, making it a highly sought-after collector's piece. According to the retailer Khimji Ramdas, this watch was originally delivered to the Diwan of the Royal Court, further enhancing its provenance and historical significance. This unique combination of exquisite craftsmanship, rare dial configuration, and a direct link to Omani royalty makes this a standout piece in the world of fine watchmaking.
