Introduction to Moulay Hassan
Moulay Hassan is the Crown Prince of Morocco and heir apparent to the Alaoui dynasty, one of the longest-reigning royal families in the world. Born in 2003 as the eldest son of King Mohammed VI and Princess Lalla Salma, he has been groomed for leadership from an early age. He has represented the Moroccan throne at state occasions, agricultural summits, and formal ceremonies both domestically and abroad, developing a public profile that blends traditional Moroccan identity with a modern, internationally educated outlook. He studied in Morocco and France, and his growing presence on the world stage has made him a subject of increasing interest beyond royal watchers.
The Moulay Hassan watch collection, based on sightings documented so far, points firmly toward Rolex — and not the understated end of the catalog. At a formal Moroccan royal ceremony, the Crown Prince was photographed wearing a Rolex Yacht-Master II reference 116688, the all-18k yellow gold version of a model Rolex introduced in 2009 and updated over subsequent years. The 116688, launched in 2013, is one of the more technically substantial pieces in the Rolex lineup, housing the caliber 4161 with its programmable countdown regatta timer — a complication that places it firmly in the sport-luxury category rather than pure dress watch territory. Paired with a cream djellaba and red fez, the choice was conspicuous without being careless.
What the selection suggests is a preference for Rolex's more assertive, gold-heavy references rather than the brand's sport steel models that dominate celebrity wrists globally. For a Crown Prince operating within the formal ceremonial demands of Moroccan royal life, a solid gold Rolex carries appropriate weight while remaining a recognizable Swiss manufacture. With only one confirmed sighting in our database at this stage, the full scope of his collection remains largely undocumented — but the 116688 is a confident opening entry.
Prince Moulay Hassan of Morocco Spotted Wearing Rolex Yacht-Master II in Solid 18k Yellow Gold
Inserted 30/04/2023
The Rolex Yacht-Master II ref. 116688 is one of only a handful of production wristwatches ever built around a mechanical regatta countdown mechanism — a programmable 60-second flyback timer synchronized to race-start sequences. That complication, housed in the calibre 4161, elevates this piece well beyond a dress watch. Morocco's Crown Prince Moulay Hassan, heir apparent to King Mohammed VI, was photographed wearing the full yellow gold example at an official ceremony, its blue Cerachrom bezel and white dial unmistakable beneath traditional djellaba attire.
