The Order of the Dragon King is Bhutan's highest honor, bestowed in honor of a lifetime of benefit to the community and Kingdom of Bhutan. It is the pinnacle of Bhutan's honor code, with 2 levels, and took priority over all other awards, honors, and badges. The First Class, made of sterling silver, includes a Breast Star and Sash Badge, whereas the Second Class just has a Sash and Badge. King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck established it on November 7, 2008, to honor those who have dedicated a career of commitment to excellence and citizens of Bhutan.
