圖錄文章
Born in 1906, Prince Faisal Ibn Abdul Aziz Al Saud was an important figure whom forged and shaped modern Saudi Arabia and was declared king and crowned in 1964.

According to scholars, during 1958, Srul El Sabban (the Finance minister of Saudi Arabia) had ordered from Universal 50 pieces of a gold watch bearing the effigy of Prince Faisal on the dial. These timepieces are not a salutation to a nation’s symbol, His majesty, but was also a valuable gift to members of his forces and was not available to the public.

Offered in an attractive appeal and accompanied by its original paired pink gold bracelet, the present example with the prestigious portrait of His majesty surely bares rare trait and is highly collectible for watch collectors.
