More information
Among the most legendary Rolex watches are those bearing the Khanjar emblem, a symbol deeply rooted in Oman's history and its royal heritage. These watches, often custom-ordered by Sultan Qaboos bin Said al Said, were given as diplomatic gifts or rewards to high-ranking individuals and military officers. Unlike regular Rolex models, which were mass-produced for a global audience, Khanjar-marked timepieces have always been made in extremely limited editions – making them some of the most sought-after Rolex examples among collectors.
