Rolex Date

€18.500 EUR

This is a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date in gold, in absolutely mint condition. It is reference 15018, produced in the early 1980s, fitted with a sapphire crystal. It comes on a beautiful original gold Oyster bracelet, perfectly preserved.

But above all, what makes this watch truly special is its incredible history.

This example was gifted in the 1980s by Rachid bin Saïd Al Maktoum, then Emir of Dubai, to Ali Yata, a prominent Moroccan political and intellectual figure. At the time, presenting a gold Rolex was a powerful diplomatic gesture—a symbol of respect, recognition, and prestige between leaders.

This watch is a genuine piece of Rolex history, representing the era when the Al Maktoum family gifted watches to major political figures and influential personalities around the world. It is both a small historical moment and, at the same time, an elegant, wearable watch for everyday use. A truly compelling combination of historical significance and everyday practicality.

 

 

Cette montre est une Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date en or, dans un état rigoureusement neuf. Il s’agit de la référence 15018, produite au début des années 1980, équipée d’un verre en saphir. Elle est montée sur un très beau bracelet Oyster en or d’origine, parfaitement conservé.

Mais surtout, ce qui compte, c’est son histoire incroyable.

Cet exemplaire a été offert dans les années 1980 par Rachid ben Saïd Al Maktoum, alors émir de Dubaï, à Ali Yata, grande figure politique et intellectuelle marocaine. À cette époque, offrir une Rolex en or constituait un geste diplomatique fort, symbole de respect, de reconnaissance et de prestige entre dirigeants.

Il s’agit ici d’un véritable morceau d’histoire Rolex, représentatif de la grande époque où la famille Al Maktoum offrait des montres aux grandes figures politiques et aux personnalités marquantes de ce monde. C’est à la fois un petit moment d’histoire et, en même temps, une montre facile à porter au quotidien, élégante et évidente au poignet. Une pièce au mix particulièrement intéressant, entre portée historique et usage de tous les jours
