In a city as affluent as Dubai, it isn’t a surprise to see some pretty wild watches come out to play at the city’s own Dubai Watch Week. While there are some of the usual suspects to be seen, such as Rolex and Patek Philippe, Dubai also showed its sophisticated side with some less common contemporary pieces and even rarer vintage watches. So while I wasn’t able to capture anything close to the full spectrum of interesting timepieces donning the wrists of those wandering the exhibiting booths, this is a small smattering that shows just how varied and articulate the tastes of Dubai Watch Week attendees are.A stunning yellow gold ref. 19018 Rolex Oysterquartz Day-Date with wood dial and diamond minute track.[su_custom_gallery source=”media: 57423,57422″ limit=”100″ link=”lightbox” target=”blank” width=”420″ height=”610″ title=”never”]A piece from independent watchmaker F.Rozon.The enviable Patek Philippe ref. 5711.The Seiko Presage Shippo SPB075 elegantly worn by our very own Sandra Lane.A yellow gold vintage Vacheron Constantin, circa 1940s.[su_custom_gallery source=”media: 57473,57472″ limit=”100″ link=”lightbox” target=”blank” width=”420″ height=”610″ title=”never”]A powerful A.
