The Cartier Santos Carrée currently on offer boasts a distinctive and coveted Khanjar dial, which harks back to the year 1993, as confirmed by Cartier themselves. This unique timepiece carries a special significance, discernible through the presence of the Khanjar crest discreetly adorning the 9 o'clock position. This discreet yet meaningful detail hints at its distinguished provenance, as this watch was specially commissioned by none other than the revered Omani royal family.

The late Sultan Qaboos bin Said, known not only for his reign but also for his passion for horology, was renowned for his affinity for timepieces. A prominent aspect of his legacy was the tradition of gifting watches, and these bestowed timekeepers consistently bore the emblem of Oman, signifying their royal origin. It comes as no surprise, then, that these watches have earned a place of high esteem among discerning collectors, making them some of the most sought-after horological treasures in the world.
