Catalogue Essay
From the year 2000, special editions of reference 5110 World Time wristwatch were released, featuring particularly interesting and sometimes unique location or time zone dials. For example, we know of the ‘Mecca Emerald Green’, the Munster, Singapore or Taipei editions, whereby one city would be highlighted in a different colour by special request. This particular example features Doha in red which replaces Moscow.
This particular watch would have been made by special request by the government of Qatar, possibly for visiting dignitaries or as gifts. The watch is therefore accompanied by the relevant matching paperwork confirming the special edition dial and box, and remains unopened in its factory plastic seal.
