Heavy lies the crown: Summer break is ending in Denmark, and King Frederik X is back at work after attending the Olympics in Paris.
On Monday, His Majesty held a public audience at Christiansborg Castle in Copenhagen. In this picture posted on the royal Instagram account, he glances at the list of today's audience seekers totaling 44 Danes, we’ve been told.
A monarch rocking a Rolex is not unusual. But King Frederik is wearing his Sky-Dweller on a NATO strap, dressing down the 42mm watch from Rolex’s Classic line while giving it a military look. Jason Heaton, an American author and podcaster, was first to point to His Majesty’s wrist wear of choice.
The Sky-Dweller features a GMT disc, a complication King Frederik seems to favor; he sported an all-black Omega Seamaster with a GMT complication while at the Olympics.
Still, the succession to the Crown is assured: Frederik’s oldest son, Prince Christian, wore a Datejust on Jubilee with a Wimbledon dial at his high school graduation in June.
