A new Raymond Weil boutique has been opened in the Gold Souk of the Dubai Mall by distributor Al-Futtaim Watches and Jewellery.

Olivier Bernheim, Raymond Weil president and chief executive, attended the launch of the new store, which is the fourth boutique carrying the watchmaker's name in the UAE.

He unveiled the newest addition to the nabucco collection, which includes a number of gold timepieces, to guests and representatives of the media during an inaugural reception.

Mr Bernheim stated that Raymond Weil has "enjoyed a fruitful relationship with Al-Futtaim" for 30 years and the UAE has become a "key market" for the company.

Initially introduced to the emirates in early 2008, the nabucco range is a popular contemporary line of timepieces.

Meanwhile, a rare Patek Philippe gold watch was recently sold by Christie's at an auction in Geneva for CHF1.94 million (£1.15 million), exceeding its guide price of CHF1-1.5 million.
