Catalogue Essay
- Tudor has consistently been at the forefront of innovation, captivating collectors worldwide with their creative use of various case materials.

- The current reference boasts a case and bracelet crafted from bronze, a rare and unconventional material in watchmaking. Due to its tendency to oxidize when exposed to air over time, bronze is seldom utilized by watch companies.

- Nevertheless, the beauty of this watch lies in the fact that each individual piece will develop a unique patina, influenced by factors such as temperature, humidity, and regular wear.

- This particular watch, accompanied by its full set of accessories and guarantee, is in exceptional condition, akin to a blank canvas awaiting the bidder's personal journey as to witness the gradual oxidation process unfold in their own distinct way.

Tudor

Swiss | 1926
Almost twenty years after Rolex was founded, Hans Wilsdorf established Tudor with the intention of making more affordable watches without compromising the quality for which Rolex was renowned. Tudor was named after the British Dynasty that ruled England from 1485 to 1603, and their symbol came from the "War of Roses." After interchanging Rose and Shield symbols for a number of years, the firm replaced the Rose with the Shield logo from the 1960s until today.

Some of the most recognized vintage models made by Tudor include the Submariner, a waterproof model first introduced in 1954, the Oysterdate, the earliest versions of which were nicknamed the "Monte-Carlo," the Heritage, which included the date at 6 o'clock, as well as the Pelagos, which translates to "deep sea" in Greek.
