Rolex - 1930's Prince 1541 'Doctor's Watch'

WHAT WE LOVE:

The Rolex Prince, commonly referred to as the "Doctor's Watch," holds an important place in Rolex's history and is highly regarded for its unique design, horological innovation, and its association with the medical profession.

Introduced in 1928, the Rolex Prince features a rectangular case and a distinctive dial layout, setting it apart from other Rolex models. The watch has two separate dials, with the larger one displaying hours and minutes and a smaller subsidiary dial for seconds. This design allowed for better legibility, which was especially useful for doctors and other professionals who required precise timekeeping.

The design of the Rolex Prince was heavily influenced by the Art Deco movement, which was prevalent during the time of its introduction. The watch's geometric lines, elegant proportions, and intricate details are emblematic of the Art Deco style, making it a beautiful representation of the era's design sensibilities.
