A rare and highly collectible Rolex Prince Brancard, one of the most iconic models in early Rolex history, is now available for sale. 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 from 1928 onwards, with a split dial and large seconds hand for measuring pulse and respiration. The Brancard was the top model in this line and was one of Rolex's most expensive and technically sophisticated timepieces at the time. This watch was probably manufactured in 1937. ⸻ Highlights • Sought-after Rolex Prince Brancard – the rarest and most valuable Prince model • Brand-typical two-part doctor's watch dial • Precise manual-winding movement from the historic Aegler production • Iconic Art Deco design with curved case sides • Expressive vintage appearance, typical of the 1930s–40s • One of the most significant rectangular watches in Rolex history ⸻ Technical data • Model: Rolex Prince Brancard • Movement: Aegler manual-winding caliber (Prince caliber, often chronometer-certified) • Case shape: Brancard (curved, flared sides) • Dial: Two-part – hours/minutes at the top, large seconds at the bottom • Functions: Hours, minutes, small seconds ⸻ Condition The watch is in attractive, authentic vintage condition, appropriate for its age: • Dial: Classic two-part Prince architecture with age-appropriate, even patina. • Case: Well-preserved Brancard contours; elegant Art Deco proportions. • Movement: runs, hands switch correctly.
