What is a Troy Ounce? Platinum weight, conversions and local use
Definition. The troy ounce (31.1035 g) is the settlement unit of the London and COMEX markets, so it is the number every other quote is derived from. One troy ounce equals 31.1035 grams, or 1.00000 troy ounces, which at today's platinum spot price works out to — AED.
Where it is used. Bullion bars and coins are struck in 1 oz, 10 oz and 100 oz sizes, and dealer spreads are quoted as a premium over the ounce spot price. The unit is the trading standard in global wholesale markets.
Pricing conventions. Because the ounce is the contract unit, it carries the tightest spread of any weight: retail premiums on a 1 oz coin typically run a few percent, while a 400 oz good-delivery bar trades near spot. Platinum has almost no traditional-unit retail market: it is quoted per ounce or per gram, and this conversion is mainly used for jewellery weighing and industrial stock.
Good to know. The troy ounce is heavier than the everyday avoirdupois ounce (28.35 g) — a mix-up of roughly 10% that still catches out first-time buyers.

Buying Platinum in UAE: local market, taxes and premiums
At the live price shown above per troy ounce, the price you see here is the international XPT spot price converted into UAE Dirham. Physical buyers in UAE pay that reference plus a premium, and local trading is concentrated around Dubai's Gold Souk and the DMCC free zone. Buyers there generally watch the Dubai Gold & Commodities Exchange rate published each morning as the day's reference.
Taxes and duties. Jewellery and lower-purity items carry 5% VAT, though jewellers often absorb part of it in the making charge. Platinum is a much smaller market driven by autocatalyst and jewellery demand, so local availability is patchier and dealer spreads wider. That is why the shop price of platinum in AED can sit noticeably above the spot value of the same troy ounce of metal.
How people usually buy. The common routes in UAE are Gold Souk retailers, DMCC-licensed dealers, Emirates Gold and Kaloti refiners and airport duty-free counters. The products most often quoted locally include 22K and 24K jewellery, tola bars, 1 oz coins, 1 kg bars.
Local conventions. Dubai jewellery is sold at the daily Dubai Gold Rate plus a transparent making charge, and the tola bar remains popular with South Asian buyers. Before you buy, compare the dealer's asking price per troy ounce with the live platinum price above, and check the buy-back spread the same dealer offers — that round-trip cost matters more than a small difference in the headline AED quote.
