Arabian Automobiles Company, the flagship company of AW Rostamani Group and the official distributor of INFINITI in Dubai, Sharjah and the Northern Emirates, proudly unveiled the 54th UAE National Day Edition INFINITI QX80, an extraordinary collection of just seven vehicles created in collaboration with Damas Jewellery. This unprecedented edition bridges automotive innovation with fine jewellery craftsmanship, paying tribute to the UAE’s vision, identity, and unmatched capacity to inspire progress.
The unveiling ceremony was hosted by Hussam Baghdadi, COO of AWR Automotive who welcomed Ananthanarayanan Hariharan, CEO of Damas Jewellery and Rajnish Damodaran, Director – Retail, Product & Marketing of Damas Jewellery underscoring the significance of this milestone partnership between two regional powerhouses.
At the core of this special edition is a first-of-its-kind dashboard jewellery piece that redefines personalization and luxury in the automotive world. Inspired by the seven constellations that lit the UAE’s skies on 2 December 1971, the night the nation was formed, the piece features a 9-karat white gold bezel framing a precision-mapped star design set with 38 lab-grown diamonds. Resting on a custom silver base with black rhodium plating, every element is hand-crafted by Damas artisans, reflecting clarity, endurance, and the UAE’s ever-rising spirit.
“Only in Dubai — only in the UAE — can a collaboration of this scale and imagination truly come to life,” said Hussam Baghdadi, COO of Arabian Automobiles Company, AW Rostamani Group. “For us, the concept of infinite possibilities has been a guiding force in 2025; from the re-opening of the world’s largest INFINITI showroom where constellations played a key role in the experience to a desert adventure that invited our community to look to the sky and dream bigger. This collaboration is the natural next chapter of that galaxy. Together with Damas, we’ve created something that goes far beyond a limited edition but a meaningful tribute to the UAE’s spirit and the creative freedom it inspires.”
Thoughtfully designed to honour the nation’s journey, the 54th UAE National Day Edition QX80 is more than a commemorative release; it is a statement of pride. Every detail reflects the UAE’s evolution from its historic foundation to a future defined by progress, opportunity, and a belief in what can be built here.
“As a homegrown brand that has grown in step with the UAE’s remarkable rise, partnering with a global marque like INFINITI, represented in the region by Arabian Automobiles Company, is deeply meaningful,” said Rajnish Damodaran, Director – Retail, Product & Marketing at Damas Jewellery. “This collaboration allowed us to merge our heritage of jewellery craftsmanship with automotive excellence, creating a piece that embodies the UAE’s values, creativity, and forward-looking spirit.”
The evening’s program also featured the Winter Collection showcase by The Orphic, the Emirati haute couture label founded by sisters Amna and Mariam Al Mualla, further reflecting AWR’s commitment to championing local creative voices. Guests were also immersed in the world of Janat Tea, presented by its President, Ms. Machiko Gozen, a descendant of a 13th-generation Samurai family. Janat’s blends, including the world’s first French Oak Tea, created in collaboration with Gustave Eiffel, the legendary engineer behind the Eiffel Tower offered a sensory journey that beautifully bridged tradition and innovation.
