A watch for 3 million dirhams owned by a member of the Egyptian royal family will be auctioned in Dubai.
The watches of the late King of Egypt Farouk will be one of the main lots at Christie's Watches and Wristwatches, which will be held in March in Dubai. The preliminary cost of hours is estimated at $ US 400-800 thousand.
The addiction of King Farouk to the watch, which he inherited from his father, King Fuad, is widely known in Egypt and beyond. King Farouk owned exquisite copies of famous and greatest watchmakers around the world.
Patek Philippe launched the Reference 1518 in 1941, and it is estimated that only 281 pieces of this rare watch were produced. One copy from the royal collection is auctioned by Christie's. The watch is engraved with the Royal Crown of Egypt along with a star, crescent and the letter "F".
