Tudor

*Mint* 1990 Tudor Two-Tone Prince Oysterdate (Ref. 74033) W/ Guarantee Paper

The Rolex/Tudor relationship dates back to 1926 when Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of Rolex SA, acquired the Tudor company in an effort to create a more affordable alternative to the flagship Rolex name. Producing wristwatch models with similar likeness side by side, both Tudor and Rolex are revered for their quality in craftsmanship and brand integrity. Because Tudor has always been seen as the more-consumer-oriented little brother to Rolex, there is a vast value proposition when buying into the Tudor name, with the likes of very interesting and collectible timepieces with design elements not dared to attempt by the Crown. 

This Tudor Prince Oysterdate ref. 74033 is a particularly special example given its exceptional overall condition, likely only worn a handful of times and never polished, this two-tone beauty of a wristwatch also comes with its original guarantee papers. The ref. 74033 also utilizes the ETA 2824-2 quick-set date movement, which is also seen in the sought-after Tudor Submariners of the same era.
