Does this mean anything to the watch?
Hello, forum
I recently acquired 5235G and it is an absolute beauty. I really love it's brushed dial with blue accent and the angular shape of the lugs. However, there is something unusual with paper work of this watch. It is stamped "OMAN PALACE" on name and address of owner section of the paper. Does this mean the watch was originally purchased for/ from royal family in Oman? Or is it just another way of watch getting stamped in Oman? I included image of the certificate of authenticity along with photo of my new watch. |

The Patek boutique in Oman opened in the Oman Royal Opera House - perhaps they call it Oman Palace? I can confirm the address is correct, at least that.
If the name of the owner is the same as the shop, perhaps it's indeed some member of the family who represents Patek in Oman who purchased the watch - just speculating. |

RE: John Doyle
Sorry for late reply. I have been really busy with work.
I asked my friend from Oman and the address is for the jeweler. I still do not know why the name of the owner is in such way. But I did find this similar watch on Sotheby with same stamp. /en/buy/auction/2019/important-watches/patek-philippe-ref-5235g-a-white-gold-automatic |

Looks like somebody just started to write the dealer address in the wrong spot, then finished it up where it is supposed to be.
