The Gulf commissions are where the 1802 leaves the ordinary market behind, and the smooth bezel appears to have been the preferred canvas for them. Two emblems recur. The first is the signature of Sultan Qaboos bin Said, applied in green on silvered dials; Christie's catalogued a white-gold example with the Qaboos signature, case number 3,795,515, dated to about 1974, and further Qaboos examples in yellow and pink gold. The second is the red Khanjar, the crossed-daggers emblem of the Sultanate. | The Gulf commissions are where the 1802 leaves the ordinary market behind, and the smooth bezel appears to have been the preferred canvas for them.
