Notes
Ref. 3361 This asymmetrical Rolex Prince wristwatch was presented at the 1939 Swiss National Exhibition in Zurich. Examining the profile, one sees the difference in thickness between the top and of the bottom of the case. The present model has always been made in gold, never in stainless steel. It is called "Aerodynamic" in the 1940s advertisements.
