The watch features the K.R. stamp on the case back, representing the world-famous Omani Rolex retailer Khimji Ramdas. Furthermore, a close inspection of the case back reveals a small hole on the outer teeth, a characteristic typical of K.R. Rolex watches. Once opened, the case back displays the watch's case number stamped inside, which is typical of some Middle Eastern special orders of Rolex.
A true icon within the world of vintage watch collecting, the birth of the Day-Date can be traced back to 1956; it quickly became one of the most celebrated models of the Geneva manufacture. Created in multiple variants, the Day-Date exemplifies the creativity of the firm and showcases their aim to follow the evolving tastes of their customers as well as requirements of some of their most demanding clients.
