I haven't seen any threads in this forum on the Bao Dai Rolex (https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/ba...olex-ever-sold) previously owned by the last emperor of Vietnam and currently the 2nd most expensive Rolex ever sold.

Given the high quality of info and discussion here, I wanted to ask if anyone knows more about it

That’s a stunning piece.
Never seen that Rolex before.

Bao Dai = Bow down
Rolex needs to make a modern version of that

Complex historical piece to boot

This Thread is probably better served in the Vintage Section IMHO.

Interesting.

I did a paper on the Bao Dai situation in Vietnam for a history paper back in University.
