Saudia
The Middle East is known to have issued a wide range of Rolex watches with government and corporate logos that have gained a lot of interest over the past years and are increasingly important in the watch collecting world.
The collecting patterns vary, some collectors look for the most important and rare logos, some for the best- looking logos, its rarity and aesthetics making these interesting.
A logo that we have occasionally seen on photos but never had the pleasure of offering yet is the Saudi Airlines Logo.
This 1978 Rolex Oysterdate Precision dates back to 1978 and was ordered by Saudi Airlines to be gifted either to a pilot or ground teams if not for the offices.
The rich green enamel style logo displays the popular swords and palm trees apart from the Airline name Saudia.
A very very good looking and exceedingly rare logo watch that is truly special.
