Lot #23: Vintage Tudor Oyster Prince Watch

A distinguished vintage wristwatch with a quietly commanding presence, pairing warm gold-tone architecture with a beautifully aged, mid-century dial. The round case is finished in a rich, time-softened gold tone and fitted with a brown leather strap with visible wear and creasing, adding to the piece’s authentic character. A pale dial with applied gold-tone batons and Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9 is signed “Tudor Oyster Prince,” with “Rotor Self-Winding” printed above the lower half. From the side profile, the watch shows a gently domed crystal with pronounced surface scratching and fine crazing throughout, while the crown presents with classic fluting. The reverse features a case back engraved around the perimeter with “Original Oyster Case by Rolex Geneva,” underscoring the heritage construction associated with this era. Visible wear includes scratches, patina, and finish loss on the case, along with significant crystal wear; all consistent with age and long-term use. Pickup category timeslot {A}
