Offered here is a truly exceptional Rolex Prince Imperial Doctor’s pendant watch from 1938, a genuine collector’s piece that stands out through its rarity, originality, and completeness.

The star of this watch is without question its original three tone dial, an extremely scarce configuration that is almost never seen. Most Prince models were produced with single or two tone dials. This unique three tone layout, paired with the “Especially Accurate” text on the dial, elevates this piece to a different level. In decades of collecting, I have never personally seen another example like it. The dial is completely original and untouched, showing beautiful natural aging and patina around the edges that is consistent with its age and gives it authentic vintage character.

The case measures approximately 42 mm x 37 mm and is crafted in an elegant two tone rose gold and steel combination. The back of the case features an original engraving from the first owner, adding a charming touch of provenance. Accompanying the watch is its correct era gold filled two tone chain, matching the rose gold and steel aesthetic, and the presentation box with green velvet interior.

The watch retains its original blued steel hands and even its original crystal, which is almost impossible to find intact today. Inside is the renowned Rolex Ultra Prima chronometer movement with 17 jewels, fully serviced, disassembled, cleaned, reassembled, and regulated. It is running beautifully and ready to be enjoyed by its next custodian.

This is not a watch for a casual buyer. It is a niche collector’s piece, appreciated only by those who truly understand the historical significance of the Prince line and the extreme rarity of the three tone “Especially Accurate” dial variant. Complete, untouched, serviced, and full of personality, this watch is a time capsule from 1938 and a masterpiece of early Rolex history.
