Tudor Oyster Royal 'Rose' Mechanical Watch

A fine example of 1940s horological heritage, this Tudor Oyster Royal wristwatch captures the timeless charm and craftsmanship synonymous with the Rolex family.

The 22mm stainless steel case features a smooth fixed bezel and a white/cream-coloured dial, beautifully complemented by gold-tone hands and Arabic numeral hour markers. The dial retains a vintage character that reflects its history, offering a subtle patina that enhances its authenticity.

The case back is signed “Original Oyster Case by Rolex Geneva,” confirming its heritage, while the Rolex crown winder completes the connection between the two renowned brands.

This model is fitted with the original Oyster rivet stainless steel bracelet, secured with a fold-over clasp for comfort and reliability. Inside, it houses the Tudor Calibre 2546 mechanical 17-jewel movement, known for its durability and precision. Impressively, this vintage movement maintains good timing for a watch of its era.

A true collector’s piece, the Tudor Oyster Royal stands as a testament to the enduring partnership between Tudor and Rolex — elegant, mechanically robust, and steeped in history.
