Most of the Rolexes we've brought to replica brand watches your attention have the names Explorer, Submariner, Daytona, or Datejust.From time to time (and by that we mean once), we feature a model by the name of the Rolex Prince.The Prince is an interesting model in terms of the Rolex lineup.Hans Wildorf's brand in the 1930s focused much of its attention to selling waterproof, self-winding watches, also known as the Oysters.The Prince was not a sport watch, it was not water resistant, and it was not automatically wound.Rather, the Prince was an expression of luxury and distinction in a decade best known for economic hardship.
It was a relative throwback to the decade before where extravagant parties were the norm and a dress watch such as the Prince had a real place in society. Omega replica watches even advertised the Prince as "the watch for men of distinction".The particular Prince we have found for you today is an original 1935 "Brancard" version.Brancard means "stretcher" in French and this denotes the flaring at the top and bottom of the case sides.Even the face on this Prince is all original, and the case is made of stainless steel and 14K gold.
This watch even today is nothing if not handsome and distinguished and would certainly be a great formal wear piece.It is being sold by Robert Maron in LA, whose Tag Heuer replica watches we continue to feature regularly.No price is given but considering the authenticity and that it is the more desirable Brancard version of the Prince, this one will not be for the faint of heart.Click here for more details on this 1935 Rolex Prince, the watch for men of distinction.Click here for a great synopsis of the Rolex Prince from TimeZone.Hodinkee in Rolex, Rolex Prince, Vintage Saturday, March 7, 2009 at 7:24PM
