|The Prince model was introduced by Rolex in 1929 and continued until 1935. Each watch was certified for its accuracy and 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'.
