King Fahad - Middle Eastern Royals love to place their names or pictures on watch dials and given their influence they managed to get on big brands like Rolex and Patek Philippe. Here is a 1984 Rolex Datejust 16030 with a Silver dial bearing the Saudi Logo and name of the former King of Saudi Arabia, King Fahad on the dial. The watch is in beautiful vintage condition and comes in a nice collector's full set with original punched, dated and stamped warranty and box. Given the number of collectors of Middle Eastern Logo dials around the world this watch might not necessarily go back to Saudi Arabia but it has some charm if it goes back to the roots. In any case a beautiful collectible in a full set.

Brief History
Rolex Datejust
Released in 1945 to celebrate the brand’s 40th anniversary, the Datejust was the first automatic chronometer wristwatch to indicate the date through a window on the dial. The Datejust is characterized by its date window under the ‘cyclops’ window. Iconic vintage Datejusts were made in 36mm case diameter, with a range of steel and precious metal versions.
