Rolex Datejust 36 Full Steel Jubilee White Porcelain Dial KSA Saudi Arabia Fahed 1988 (Full-Set/Unpolished)

Rolex Datejust 16030 KSA “Fahed” Porcelain Dial

Rolex, founded in 1905, is the world’s most recognized luxury watch brand, celebrated for its precision, durability, and pioneering contributions to horology. The Datejust, introduced in 1945, was the first wristwatch to feature an automatically changing date window, becoming a cornerstone of Rolex’s identity and a benchmark for everyday luxury watches.

The Rolex Datejust 16030 represents the model’s evolution during the late 20th century, featuring a robust stainless steel case, fluted bezel, and reliable automatic movement. Known for its versatility and enduring design, the 16030 stands out as a classic reference among collectors. In this rare configuration, the watch carries a porcelain dial with the KSA logo and “Fahed” signature, paired with yellow gold indices and hands, making it a highly distinctive and historically significant variation of an already iconic Rolex model.

Key Details To Consider

Extremely rare and highly collectible Rolex Datejust 16030 in full stainless steel, all original and preserved in excellent condition.

The case remains in its original unpolished state, displaying only minimal signs of wear despite its age. Its lugs are sharp and thick, and the original green sticker is still present on the caseback.

The standout feature is the flawless white porcelain dial bearing the KSA logo and “Fahed” signature. Free of cracks or scratches, the dial is further distinguished by its unusual yellow gold indices and matching hands, a striking contrast against the steel case. This rare configuration reflects the unique orders from the Kingdom at the time, where steel or platinum was preferred due to restrictions on gold, making this piece an extraordinary exception.

All numbers on the case remain perfectly intact and visible, with the serial beginning with R.

The watch comes complete with its original box and papers from Saudi Arabia. While the movement service history is unknown, it has been checked and is running accurately.

An exceptionally rare collector’s piece with both historical and horological significance.
