1987 Rolex 16018 Yellow Gold Blue Khanjar Dial Datejust

Description: A rare find for us would be a Blue dial Yellow Gold Datejust… however when we run across one with an infamous Khanjar dial we know it’s in a class of it its own.

Omani Khanjar daggers represent the virtue of status; symbol of the Sultanate, of manhood, used only to be bloodied, seeking of revenge or brandished in self-defense. To remove the dagger from its scabbard, and to not bloody the blade, is considered a great cultural taboo.

During the 70s and 80s, Omani royalty commissioned from Rolex watches worthy of royal degree. Blanks were sent to London’s Asprey Jewelers and, sanctioned by Rolex, stamped the with Omani national emblem: a khanjar flanked by two crossing swords. Kanjar stamped Gold Datejusts are objects of subtlety.
