Rolex Day-Date 36 18K Yellow Gold Khanjar Dial Watch Ref. 18038 - A remarkable vintage example of the prestigious Rolex Day-Date, this reference 18038 is distinguished by its champagne dial bearing the red Khanjar emblem, the royal crest of Oman. The Khanjar, depicting a curved dagger over crossed swords within a belt, is the national symbol introduced by Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said in 1970. An avid watch collector, the Sultan commissioned Rolex and other elite brands to produce Khanjar-signed timepieces, which he presented as gifts to dignitaries and close associates. This example features a solid 18K yellow gold case with a fluted bezel and the iconic President bracelet, powered by Rolex's Caliber 3055 automatic movement beating at 28,800 vph and equipped with a quickset date function. A true collector's piece, this Rolex Day-Date Khanjar Dial embodies both horological excellence and the legacy of Omani royal history.
