More information
Introduced in 1928, the elegant Rolex Prince in Art Deco style was advertised as "The watch for men of distinction".
The model became known as the doctor’s watch due to the large subsidiary seconds dial, ideal for measuring the heartbeat of patients. The present batch of the 1490 series is distinguished by flared sides and is called "Brancard", just like the stretcher in French.
The rarity and beauty of this piece, combined with its pristine conditions, make this reference 1490 a must for any experienced collector.
