Catalogue Essay
- The Tudor Oyster Prince made its debut in 1952, as Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of Rolex, decided that this collection deserved to share the iconic Oyster waterproof case and the original self-winding Perpetual 'rotor' mechanism that Rolex had pioneered.

- From its inception, the Tudor Oyster Prince collection has been known for its robustness. Over the years, it has given rise to iconic tool watches, such as the Submariner and their chronograph models. However, the roots of the collection lie in the simple time and date-only configurations.

- The present Tudor Oyster Prince timepiece is a perfect representation of the collection's design in the 1980s. It features the classic two-tone case and bracelet, while the linen-textured dial adds an extra layer of depth and visual interest. The champagne-colored tone of the dial complements the case beautifully.

- Preserved in excellent condition, this Tudor Oyster Prince is being offered without reserve, making it an attractive watch for everyday wear.

Tudor

Swiss | 1926
Almost twenty years after Rolex was founded, Hans Wilsdorf established Tudor with the intention of making more affordable watches without compromising the quality for which Rolex was renowned. Tudor was named after the British Dynasty that ruled England from 1485 to 1603, and their symbol came from the "War of Roses." After interchanging Rose and Shield symbols for a number of years, the firm replaced the Rose with the Shield logo from the 1960s until today.

Some of the most recognized vintage models made by Tudor include the Submariner, a waterproof model first introduced in 1954, the Oysterdate, the earliest versions of which were nicknamed the "Monte-Carlo," the Heritage, which included the date at 6 o'clock, as well as the Pelagos, which translates to "deep sea" in Greek.
