I have always
love the 1601 and I have one in Rose gold bezel and steel and another in
yellow gold bezel and steel. This is a white gold bezel Rolex with the rare
dial made for Saudi Arabia (with the Coat of Arms of kingdom of Saudi Arabia :
Palm tree and two swords logo).
The Saudi
Arabian national emblem (Arabic: شعار السعودية) was adopted in 1950. According to
the Saudi Basic Law, it consists of two crossed swords with a palm tree in the
space above and between the blades.
The two swords
represent the Kingdom of Hejaz and the Sultanate of Najd and its dependencies,
which were united under Ibn Saud in 1926.[3] The palm tree represents the
Kingdom's assets which are defined as its people, heritage, history, and
resources natural and non-natural. Thus, the palm is shown to be guarded by the
two swords, which represent the force to be used in defence of the nation. As a former history and political science student, these details often fascinate me. As you can see, the Rolex wording and fonds sizes are also smaller. There are a few versions of the dials.
