Details
The Desert Eagle
The UAE in its rich history has, in the past, commissioned a good number of custom order dials for watches that had been purchased with the purpose of being gifted to Army Officials, Delegates, and guests of state. There are Air Force Dials, MOD Dials, and among many others there is the UAE Armed Forces dial which in our opinion is one of the most beautiful logo dials issued for the UAE.
We have here a Rolex Day Date 18038 with the rare UAE Armed Forces dial. The Champagne dial shows a yellow Eagle with 7 stars above the Eagle's head, which symbolize the 7 Emirates of the UAE. The logo is decorated with green leaves forming around the Eagle's wings. All in all the logo is placed around and below the center post of the dial.
The UAE Armed Forces logo on a Day Date was only made in four colors, champagne, silver, brown and a very rare white version we recently had the opportunity to sell.
A while ago the previous owner of this watch had it sent to Rolex for a service and the case was replaced with a Service case that remains in near mint condition bearing an extremely crisp factory finish with razor sharp edges. It will be delivered on an original Rolex Alligator strap with gold pin buckle.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a very rare and interesting piece of UAE and Rolex history that is very attractively priced and looks absolutely spectacular on the wrist.
