A Rare and Exquisite Royama Skeleton Ellipse in 18k Yellow Gold with Diamond Bezel – Sultan Qaboos Edition – Boxed, Circa 1979

We are pleased to present this exceptionally rare Royama Skeleton Ellipse, crafted in 18k yellow gold and featuring a hand-skeletonized mechanical movement visible through both the front and back sapphire crystals. This exquisite piece, produced circa 1979, is distinguished by its diamond-set bezel and its highly collectible “Qaboos” signature, making it a unique historical and horological treasure.

The watch is accompanied by:

- Original presentation box Qaboos

The elegant elliptical case, rendered in solid 18k yellow gold, is adorned with a finely executed diamond-set bezel, enhancing the refined balance between jewelry artistry and mechanical transparency. The openworked dial reveals the intricate architecture of the skeletonized movement, with delicately hand-engraved bridges and finely polished finishing throughout.

This rare Qaboos edition pays tribute to His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said al Said of Oman, whose name has become synonymous with some of the most exclusive and sought-after watch commissions of the 20th century. Timepieces bearing this royal signature are highly prized among collectors for their provenance and rarity.

An elegant fusion of goldsmithing, gem-setting, and mechanical craftsmanship, the Royama Skeleton Ellipse captures the artistic spirit of late 1970s high horology and represents a seldom-seen chapter in Omani royal watch history.

A remarkable collector’s piece – rare, refined, and imbued with royal provenance.
