Rolex King, Queen, Prince or Princess, which one is not a Rolex watch?
[Music]
Hi it's Meg from SwissWatchExpo, a Rolex King a Rolex Queen a Rolex Prince and a Rolex Princess
three of those were actually Rolex watches one of them isn't and interestingly enough it's the Rolex
King their symbol is the crown but they've never created a Rolex King in their watch collections
of course there's Air King that's a different story but we're going to talk today about the
Rolex Prince it's a stunning watch it's got a storied history with Rolex actually starts back in
the 1920s some of the first advertisements found for the Rolex Prince is actually from the 1930s
they were always Art Deco in style and inspired beautiful timepieces have a really rich history
with Rolex and they're just always stunning and I love the fact that Rolex because they're known for
their Submariners they're known for their Datejust they're really known for their round watches
the Rolex Prince is rectangular in shape again I mentioned very Art Deco originally the curvex
back where it actually curved to fit your arm and over your wrist and again started in the 1930s
originally so beautiful Art Deco very detailed in there in their style and their design quite
stunning Jump Ahead a little bit to the 1960s and the Cellini collection was introduced the
Cellini collection is actually named after the Italian artist and goldsmith sculptor inventor
Benvenuto I'm going to say it right Benvenuto Cellini and Rolex chose him to really name
their Cellini collection after and that was in the 1960s so two kind of storied watches that
all came together but interestingly enough shortly after in the mid-1950s and 60s the
Cellini and the Prince collections were all retired you didn't see them for a long time
I actually had the privilege of being around with Rolex as it was their authorized dealers in 2006
when the Rolex Cellini Prince was reintroduced it's a big deal it's really beautiful and it's
fun that I have a couple of them to show you today so I just wanted to show you the two that
we have in stock they never stay here very long as you know we sell them so quickly but we have
two that are really beautiful and they're quite extraordinary so they did go back to
the very classic rectangular Art Deco case they're made only in white gold rose gold
and yellow gold so all precious metals gorgeous timepieces and what's interesting of course the
Prince initially was referred to also as the doctor's watch because of the separated second
hand hour hand and second hand so you can really see very quickly as far as it's being easy to read
in the two separate dials and they always have an upper dial and a lower dial so that's always a lot
of fun with the watches with respect to a little bit of Hhstory going back on them when they were
initially made when they're in the vintage styles one of the we always talk about what celebrity
wore of them or who was seen wearing them well interestingly enough one of the few photographs
of their celebrity ever wearing one of the prince watches was actually Al Capone so got a little bit
of bad boy in you this is a good watch for you all right back to the one we have today just wanted to
share that with you for a minute these are really beautiful so again couple things that are very
special about them is of course the separate upper and lower dials white gold but what's
also fascinating is the fact that Rolex does this very very seldom they've started to do it now more
recently in some of their current productions but this does have the exhibition back.
I love exhibition backs what makes this one so special is it shows off something else it's
quite unique for Rolex this Cellini Prince doesn't have an exhibition back that shows
you one of their classic movements in it this is actually a manual wind movement and the movement
itself is rectangular so it's an entirely different movement than anything else that
you see in any of the Rolex products so beautiful timepiece the other thing that I love about this
you can see on both of these are white gold two very different and unique silver guilloche and
engraving styles the flame design and a circular design on the fronts of the cases on these dials
but what you'll notice is that same design This one is the flame
it's recreated and actually engraved also on the movement of the watch
and again the one that has the circular beautiful engraving of the circles around these two dials
that same circular pattern is meticulously created and hand engraved on the movement
so I just love such attention to detail you'll notice here again the beautiful Art Deco styling
and design each one of these are quite different in their look but stunning timepieces these were
reintroduced to the market in 2006 but they retired them again in 2015. so we love when
we see them they're very quick to go to always because they're such an extraordinary unique
piece in the Rolex collection I love them I had to share them with you today I hope you like them
