The following 12 lots, 237 - 248, represent the widest selection of modern "new old stock" Rolex watches made for the Sultanate of Oman ever offered at auction. The majority is still retaining the original protective stickers, sale tags and boxes, and most importantly the original certificates, confirming that they were indeed sold by Khimji Ramdas, traders located in Muscat, Oman, since 1870, today Rolex's official retailer in Oman. Watches blessed with the Omani crest or the signature of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos are an exceedingly rare commodity kept in very high regard by collectors worldwide. The few examples appearing in public are in general gifts made by the Sultan and have as such often been used and present signs of wear. The timepieces offered here for sale, however, are pristine and represent a unique opportunity for the Rolex collector to become the owner of an absolutely mint "Khanjar" Rolex.
