Icon5 Rolex Gift from the king of Saudi Arabia

Hello,

This Rolex was a gift from the King of Saudi Arabia during the visit of the Belgian King in 1975.
I got it recently but I can't find any information about it online.

It should be 18K Gold. Don't have any documentation about it.

Who could help me with this?

TIA!

It says "Khalid" on the dial. Khalid of Saudi Arabia ruled from 1975 until his death in 1982. I googled "Rolex Khalid" for you and found many examples. Here's one auctioned off at Sotheby's that looks to be new and a full set from 1976. It had an estimate of $2000-$3000 and sold for $3200 plus premium and taxes.
