Rolex Prince Ref. 1490 "Factory Lacquered Black Dial"

Price on request

This is a particularly remarkable watch, originally designed for doctors.

This 1930s Rolex Prince Brancard, with its stretcher-shaped case and wide lugs, is among the most iconic models produced by Rolex during the 1920s and 1930s.

The black dial shown here is entirely original, never restored, and bears a double Bucherer signature, reflecting Rolex's historical distribution network in Europe.

The watch comes with its original period gold bracelet. The vast majority of Rolex Prince watches today are found on leather straps, most often added later. The presence of this original gold bracelet helps maintain overall consistency faithful to the model's initial configuration.

The yellow gold case is very lightly polished, having retained its original proportions, edges, and design.

This is reference 1490, often considered the most accomplished of the Prince references in terms of balance and presence.

In recent years, several Rolex Prince watches have appeared at auction, demonstrating the market's continued interest in these models. Examples with black dials have been observed, but frequently show signs of restoration or later modifications. The example presented here is distinguished by the consistency and authenticity of all its components.
