| The Rolex King Midas Ref. 4344, designed by Gérald Genta in the 1970s, is already a highly sought-after rare timepiece, but this particular model is especially special. Among the various King Midas designs, this one features a distinctive "stripe" pattern, creating a sophisticated design that sets it apart from other versions. Furthermore, it boasts a very rare blue dial, a color rarely seen on the market. While most King Midas watches are left-handed, with the crown positioned on the left side, this model is right-handed, making it even more special. Designed by Genta after his work on the Omega Constellation, the King Midas was inspired by King Midas of Greek mythology and was one of the most expensive Rolex watches of its time. Due to its high price and limited production, only a few were ever produced, making it extremely difficult to find one with such a unique configuration. Its sculptural design, in which the case and bracelet are integrated, reflects Genta's design philosophy and is said to have influenced the later Royal Oak and Nautilus. The watch fits seamlessly on the wrist, and its solid gold construction, minimalist yet dignified dial, and unparalleled craftsmanship make it feel more like a wearable work of art than just a watch. Embodying the historical significance of Genta's designs, the distinctive character of Rolex's most unique models, and unparalleled elegance when worn, this exceptional model transcends the realm of vintage watches and is truly a one-of-a-kind collector's piece. Wrist size 17.5cm |

| The Rolex King Midas Ref. 4344, designed by Gérald Genta in the 1970s, is already a rare and sought-after timepiece, but this particular example is an exceptionally special variant. Among the different King Midas designs, this model features the fine “Stripe” pattern, which gives it an extra level of refinement and sets it apart from other versions. Furthermore, it boasts an extremely rare blue dial, a color that is scarcely seen on the market. Most King Midas watches were produced for left-handed wearers, with the crown positioned on the left side, but this particular piece is an exceptionally rare right-handed version, making it even more special. Designed by Genta after his work on the Omega Constellation, the King Midas was inspired by the Greek myth of King Midas and was one of the most expensive Rolex watches of its time. Due to its high price and exclusive production, very few were made, and finding one with such a unique configuration is exceedingly difficult. The integrated case and bracelet, sculptural in design, reflect Genta's design philosophy and are said to have influenced his later work on the Royal Oak and Nautilus. The way the watch seamlessly fits the wrist, combined with the solid gold construction, the minimalist yet commanding dial, and the unparalleled level of craftsmanship, makes this model feel more like a wearable piece of art than just a watch. This particular example goes beyond the realm of a vintage timepiece—it embodies the historical significance of Genta's design, the exclusivity of Rolex's most unique models, and an unmatched level of elegance when worn, making it a truly one-of-a-kind collector's piece.
