Rolex, mechanical men's wristwatch, year of manufacture 1969 according to movement number, model Prince, 'Doctor's Watch':

Rolex Prince (source: Watch Wiki):

Rolex wrist watch

In 1928, a timepiece came onto the market that made history not only because of its rectangular case shape, which was unusual at the time. Rolex created a watch model at that time that was manufactured until the end of the 1940s and was considered the epitome of precision and elegance: the Rolex Cellini Rolex Prince.

The special feature of this watch was the dual dial: the decentralized seconds display took up half the area of the rectangular dial. Therefore, this type of watch was also often called "Doctor's Watch". The built-in Aegler or Alpina Gruen caliber 877 met all expectations for precision, and thus the Prince was the first mass-produced wristwatch to receive a chronometer certificate. Rolex used this caliber, with minor modifications, for the "Prince" model from 1932. The caliber number for the modified form movement was changed to "ts Ref. 300".

Case dimensions: 20mm x 40mm, ultra rare version with square indirect seconds above the "6", Arabic numerals, pressed steel caseback, black leather strap, dial signed "Rolex Prince" + "Observatory".

In 1928, Rolex introduced the Prince, which almost immediately became known as the Doctor's Watch. The rectangular watch had a larger dial at the top for the hours and minutes and a smaller dial below for the seconds

This made it easy for a doctor to measure a patient's pulse rate. In watch history, the Rolex Prince is considered one of the most groundbreaking watches. After it was launched in 1928, it immediately set new standards for accuracy and ease of use in luxury watches

The magnificent piece of watch and design history runs on and through (accuracy not tested)
