Rolex Prince Imperial Black Lacquer 1585 in Steel Unpolished

This Rolex Imperial pocket watch is an incredibly cool timepiece. The Prince Imperial models were large Art-Deco pocket watches that are fascinating models. At first, we thought it was 18K white gold due to the hallmark, however it is a steel case! It measures 37mm in diameter and 41mm in length. This model is incredibly rare with a black lacquer case and black dial. The case appears to be unpolished. The case features the Geneva Key 10 indicating it was produced by Robert Meylan. The watch dates to the 1930s and this model was featured in a rare 1936 Rolex advertisement and originally retailed at 1,300 French Francs in 1936.

This watch is really a special Rolex and a connoisseurs’ choice. I would be thrilled to own something like this, and am excited to offer it for sale!

The watch does not come with box and papers. We do not know the service history, but it is running well.
