Timepieces commissioned by the Sultan of Oman, his Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said al Saided, are adorned and respected by passionate collectors globally and has witnessed some of the most important examples achieving paramount figures at auction. This is perhaps because the history behind these magnificently rare timepieces has a beautiful and captivating story behind them. A watch enthusiast himself, his Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said al Saided commissioned Rolex to create specially ordered timepieces with custom dials gifted as tokens of appreciation from the Sultanate to foreign dignitaries and his loyal staffs. While most examples of Rolex timepieces with Omani dials resurfaced to public in recent years feature the “Khanjar” symbol stamped in various colours, examples that are stamped with the emblem of the Royal Oman Police force are extremely rare. According to our researches and believed by scholars, examples bearing the extraordinary emblem were only commissioned with Rolex Submariner ref. 16800 (which was first introduced to the public in 1982) and Rolex GMT-Master ref. 16750 (introduced in 1981). Extremely rare it is believed that there are only four known examples of Rolex GMT-Master ref. 16750 bearing the emblem of the Royal Oman Police Force, each bearing a 7.6 million serial and manufactured in the same batch. Furthermore, it is also interesting as all examples were produced in absence of their serial numbers repeatedly stamped inside the caseback. The present example Rolex GMT-Master ref. 16750 from circa 1983 bearing a 7.6 million serial is scarcely stamped with the white emblem of the Royal Oman Police Force. Specifically stamped in white as a colour-coded memorandum, it symbolises “Peace” and “Prosperity”. Introduced in 1981, the ref. 16750 replaced the long-lived ref. 1675 with the introduction of a practical quick-set date feature, with early examples of the reference featuring a matte dial and later examples from circa 1986 fitted with glossy dials. Regarded as a transitional model, the ref. 16750 was discontinued in 1988 and was succeeded by the ref. 16700. Preserved in attractive overall condition with a well-preserved dial, the present example with a black bezel insert is a formidable sight to behold. One of four examples known in the market, the present highly rare and desirable timepiece will certainly captivate the attention of collectors and admirers of vintage Rolex timepieces.
