For sale is a rare and highly collectible Rolex Prince Brancard, one of the most iconic models in early Rolex history. The Brancard variant is considered the most sought-after and highest-quality version of the classic Rolex Prince and is unmistakable thanks to its characteristic Art Deco case with curved, flared sides. The Rolex Prince was marketed specifically as a “Doctor’s Watch” starting in 1928—featuring a split dial and a large seconds hand for measuring pulse and respiration. The Brancard was the top-of-the-line model in this series and was among Rolex’s most expensive and technically sophisticated timepieces at the time. This watch was likely manufactured in 1937. ⸻ Highlights • Sought-after Rolex Prince Brancard—the rarest and most valuable Prince model • Brand-signature split “Doctor’s Watch” dial • Precise hand-wound movement from the historic Aegler production • Iconic Art Deco design with curved case sides • Distinctive vintage look, typical of the 1930s–40s • One of the most significant rectangular watches in Rolex history ⸻ Technical Specifications • Model: Rolex Prince Brancard • Movement: Aegler manual-winding caliber (Prince caliber, often chronometer-certified) • Case shape: Brancard (curved, flared sides) • Dial: Split dial—hours/minutes at the top, large seconds at the bottom • Functions: Hours, minutes, small seconds ⸻ Condition The watch is in an attractive, authentic vintage condition, befitting its age: • Dial: Classic two-part Prince design with an age-appropriate, even patina. • Case: Well-preserved Brancard contours; elegant Art Deco proportions. • Movement: Does not start on its own, manual winding defective, hands advance correctly. • Hands/indexes: Typical of the era, harmonizing with the overall look. ⸻ What’s Included • Rolex Prince Brancard watch • Mounted crocodile leather strap.
