More information
Raffinato e raro Rolex Prince Century Club 1/4 Eaton, referenza 3937, con cassa rettangolare curved in oro 14kt, movimento meccanico a carica manuale. Oltre alla forma i modelli Prince della Rolex si distinguono dagli altri orologi dell’epoca per l’indicazione dell’ora separata da quella dei secondi. Questa caratteristica ha dato il soprannome a questi particolari orologi di “doctor’s watches”, ovvero orologi per professionisti con la necessità di un controllo dei secondi più immediato (ad esempio la misurazione delle pulsazioni). La cassa si presenta con particolare disegno delle anse, e il meccanismo dell’orologio riempie tutta la cassa interna in modo che le ruote, i pignoni, il bilanciere e lo scappamento di altissima precisione dispongono di un largo spazio e possono svilupparsi come in un orologio da tasca di grandi dimensioni.
