Catalogue Note
This unusual Day-Date comes with a beautiful white porcelain dial. Only produced for a short period of time, these dials were usually used on Daytonas and rarely on a Day-Date such as for the present lot. Adding rarity to the watch is the engraved Khanjar logo on the back, indicating that the present lot was made for the Sultanate of Oman.
