The manufacturer's custom pieces date back to the 1950s, when a small number of Eastern Arabic discs were incorporated into Day-Date watches encased in the most luxurious metals, notably platinum. Today, Rolex continues to dazzle and surprise, with its unusual and beautifully finished watches. It cultivates and sustains its successful relationship with the Arab States by producing a multitude of special-ordered watches for the region. The present model, ref. 228206, is produced in exceedingly limited numbers and is only sold by Middle Eastern retailers, paying tribute to the diamond-frosted Arabic Day-Dates of the 1970s, most notably in its applied Eastern Arabic numerals, which is almost identical in design to the beloved vintage Arabic Day-Dates of the past. The watch is cased in platinum, a further nod to the original Day-Dates made for the region. A statement piece, its 40mm platinum case matched with the coolest ice blue dial has a great wrist presence and gives the watch incredible weight, truly attesting to Rolex's ingenuity. This watch from circa 2018 is presented in "like-new” condition with its sophisticated large sized Rolex green box.
