Footnotes

The present lot features a rare Arabic dial which were produced by Rolex from the early 1950's. They normally featured on watches gifted to Middle Eastern Rulers and undoubtedly helped to develop the Rolex market there. This was nearly exclusively done by special order and not by mainstream production.
