Abdul Hamied Seddiqi — watch collection

About Abdul Hamied Seddiqi’s watch collection

Abdul Hamied Seddiqi is a prominent figure within one of the most influential luxury watch retail dynasties in the Arab world. As part of the Seddiqi & Sons family business, he operates within an organisation that has shaped the distribution and retail infrastructure of high-end timepieces across the UAE and the broader Gulf region for decades. Seddiqi & Sons holds authorised dealer status for some of the most sought-after watch brands on the planet, making the Seddiqi name synonymous with the luxury watch trade from Dubai to Abu Dhabi. Abdul Hamied's role within that enterprise positions him not merely as a consumer of fine watches but as someone embedded in the business of them at a structural level.

Given that professional context, what Abdul Hamied Seddiqi chooses to wear on his wrist carries a particular weight. The Abdul Hamied Seddiqi watch collection, as documented in our database, currently features a confirmed sighting of the Rolex GMT-Master II 'Sprite' Lefty on a five-link Jubilee bracelet — reference 126720VTNR. Introduced at Watches & Wonders Geneva in April 2022, the 126720VTNR is distinguished by its green and black ceramic bezel insert, a crown-left case configuration, and its placement on the Jubilee bracelet rather than the Oyster — details that together make it one of the more technically specific references Rolex has released in recent years. It is a watch that rewards knowledge of the catalogue, which feels appropriate for someone of his background.

For an entrepreneur whose family business has spent generations helping customers navigate the Rolex ecosystem in the Gulf, wearing the 126720VTNR reads less like a flex and more like a considered, informed choice. The 'Sprite' Lefty occupies a niche within Rolex's GMT-Master II lineup that appeals to collectors who follow reference history closely. It suggests a collection shaped by genuine horological familiarity rather than badge value alone.
