Founded by William Asprey as a silk printing business, Asprey evolved into a renowned retailer and maker of jewelry, leather goods, and other luxury items. Asprey has a long-standing relationship with the British Royal Family, receiving its first Royal Warrant from Queen Victoria in 1862, and has held a Royal Warrant ever since, for every British monarch to Queen Elizabeth. In addition to the British Royal Family, Asprey is the supplier of choice to various other royal families and heads of state. The collaboration between Asprey and Rolex has been highly coveted since the 1970s when the Omani government first began ordering customized “Omani” dial timepieces to be given as gifts for British SAS soldiers who were involved in the Dhofar Rebellion (1970 – 1976). Asprey was an official retailer of Rolex and is renowned for selling customized pieces. The present example is a piece unique by Asprey cased in white gold that features an Asprey signed purple colored dial that exudes elegant extravagance and is complete with its box and papers, a timepiece befitting royalty.
