Watch only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffered here is the \u003cstrong\u003eRolex Oyster Perpetual Date, reference 1500\u003c\/strong\u003e, a classic vintage Rolex distinguished by its highly unusual \u003cstrong\u003eUAE crest dial\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003eArabic signature of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum\u003c\/strong\u003e. Preserving the restrained proportions and everyday elegance for which the reference is appreciated, this example stands apart through a configuration that brings together the understated character of the Oyster Perpetual Date with the strong historical and regional importance of a special Middle Eastern presentation dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe defining feature of the watch is its \u003cstrong\u003eblack dial\u003c\/strong\u003e, fitted with applied \u003cstrong\u003eyellow-gold baton markers\u003c\/strong\u003e and matching hands, and signed at 6 o’clock with the \u003cstrong\u003eQuraysh Hawk\u003c\/strong\u003e, the official UAE crest, showing the national flag within the falcon’s chest emblem. Next to the crest appears the \u003cstrong\u003eArabic signature of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum\u003c\/strong\u003e, a highly distinctive detail that elevates the watch well beyond a standard production example. This type of dial configuration is understood to reflect a special order commissioned during his tenure as \u003cstrong\u003eUAE Minister of Defence\u003c\/strong\u003e, or for presentation to senior military officials and state dignitaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustomized Rolex “logo dials” of this kind were ordered directly by Middle Eastern royal courts and governments during the 1970s and 1980s as prestigious presentation watches. Today, they are sought after by collectors worldwide for their rarity, provenance, and cultural significance. On a clean and balanced reference such as the 1500, the emblem and signature stand out with particular strength, giving the watch an identity that is both historically compelling and immediately recognizable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHoused in \u003cstrong\u003eyellow gold\u003c\/strong\u003e with a smooth bezel and fitted with an \u003cstrong\u003eOyster bracelet\u003c\/strong\u003e, the watch retains the discreet, versatile profile that has long made vintage Rolex Date models so appealing. The presence of the UAE crest and Sheikh Mohammed’s signature transforms it into a far more uncommon and desirable piece — one that speaks not only to vintage Rolex collecting, but also to the wider history of Middle Eastern special-order watches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWatch only\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rolex\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oyster Perpetual Date\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e [add condition if desired]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Watch only\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yellow gold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBezel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth bezel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black dial with UAE Quraysh Hawk crest and Arabic signature of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarkers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Applied yellow-gold baton markers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yellow-gold Oyster bracelet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisplay:\u003c\/strong\u003e Date with Cyclops magnifier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatic Rolex movement\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT HORAMUNDI\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe specialize in vintage and contemporary timepieces.
