The Rolex Prince is the rectangular watch Rolex introduced in 1928 and the one piece in the catalogue that has nothing to do with the Oyster: a hand-wound, stepped Art Deco case carrying a duo-dial, meaning the hours and minutes sit in the upper half and the seconds get a large separate register of their own in the lower. That split is the point. A physician taking a pulse needs to count seconds, not read them off a subdial crowded under the hands, which is why the Prince picked up the "doctor's watch" name it has never lost. Rolex sold it in Brancard, Railway and Classic executions in gold, steel and two-tone through the 1930s and 1940s, generally on a chronometer-rated Aegler movement, and revived the line in 2005.
