When was the Rolex Prince discontinued?
The Rolex Prince was discontinued in 1940. When released, the timepiece was marketed as a wristwatch for accompanying formalwear. However, physicians found the watch useful for taking patients’ pulses. As a result, the Prince earned the nickname, The Doctor’s Watch. Find a range of Rolex watches on 1stDibs.
