The Prince model was introduced by Rolex in 1929 and experienced a relatively short period of production. As not many were produced they were as exclusive in period as they are today. Each watch was supplied with a chronometer rating certificate of Accuracy from the Swiss government Observatory. It was unaffected by position or changes in temperature, problems that plagued lesser watches. Rolex say of the Prince that it was 'limited to a relatively small number as such fine watches cannot be produced quickly or in large quantities'.
