Bao Dai Rolex
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 |

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

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. |
