Arabic Platinum Daytona - US Avail?

[believelandcle]

Is it possible to get this in the US or was it limited to a region in the world or a specific boutique? I can't find much information on it, but I've seen conflicting information regarding price, is there a premium added on for those numerals at retail?

I don't think thats available in the US. All the ones I have seen are the regular ones. Looks pretty cool though. I didn't even know that existed. Would be worth a trip to the ME and the prices there are way better than here.

That looks amazing, but never saw in the displays of AD's here in US,
last seen in November 2018 Dubai Mall.

That’s Arabic numbers mate, and yes you are correct that the English numbers are also referred to as Arabic numerals.

In here it's not as easy as the plain platinum Daytona, there are waiting lists for this one and the day date with Indian numerals and I personally prefer the day date over the daytona with the Indian numerals.

Would RSC change it? Should be a “straight” trade

Those blue hands and indices are the reason I got mine. That blueing of the white gold is magic. Beautiful piece.

Awesome piece!!!!

And I'd never have to set the day or date because I can't read them!

That Daytona, like the "Hindi" not Arabic numeral Day-Date, is available anywhere if you ask the AD to order it. They are VERY LOW production and will typically command a 15-20% premium over the standard platinum Daytona from the AD and probably 50% more in the secondary market.

I've seen a couple of them here in the ME, but they are available anywhere.

PS - This is my GRAIL!

Those dials look amazing!

The Arabic platinum daytona is available only in specific Middle East boutiques, I think even only the GCC ones (Oman, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi). They are priced the same as the regular platinum daytona, however boutiques will only give them out to preferred customers or VIPs, and even then at a bit of a premium. Price is around $65k or so, if you can get one. There is also a version with a baguette bezel.

I've tried and handled the Arabic daytona and I have an Arabic day date, I personally prefer the Arabic day date (as shown in above posts). The numerals are much more elegant on that dial. On the Daytona, the numerals make the dial look too busy, and Rolex mixed two sets of numerals (Hindi/Arabic on the indices and English/Arabic on the subdials and tach). That mismatch ruins it for me personally.

To each his own, regardless of my opinion, I think it's a great piece to have if you're a collector as it's a limited run.

I concur, handled it and had the opportunity to buy it and passed. too busy for my liking and only thing going for it is exclusivity which i dont care for.

If anyone here would be able to connect me with a boutique that can order one let me know. Serious buyer.

[Wiener48]

To order should not be a problem in any bigger AD

Sorry, you mean the Arab, or the normal dial?

The arabic dial, my dealer in NYC can get me a regular platinum daytona no problem 1-2 months after order. But I love the look of the script numbers and if I had the ability I would get that one 100 times out or 100 over the regular.

One sold at Christies today for 100,000. Dubai auction

[believelandcle]

Bump on this, if anyone has a connection that could help me get in touch with a boutique I would greatly appreciate it. Willing to pay cash in advance for this one to an AD
