Rolex Prince Brancard Ref. 1490 in Stainless Steel, Circa 1935

 

The Rolex Prince Brancard Ref. 1490, produced circa 1935, is a distinguished timepiece renowned for its elegant Art Deco design and historical significance. First introduced in 1928, the Rolex Prince earned the moniker “doctor’s watch” due to its dual dial configuration, with a separate seconds sub-dial ideal for measuring a patient’s pulse rate.

This example belongs to the coveted ‘Wide Brancard’ variant of the Reference 1490 series, noted for its stretcher-shaped borders on the two-tone dial and its flared case sides, which provide a bold and refined aesthetic. The stainless steel case, paired with the timeless Art Deco design elements, makes this watch an exceptional addition to any collection of vintage Rolex timepieces.
