Measuring approximately 38mm, the watch possesses all the purposeful proportions and strong wrist presence associated with the vintage Rolex Milgauss line, yet carries its own distinct Tudor identity. The beautifully balanced dial features silver gilt Tudor Prince Oysterdate script beneath the applied shield logo at 12, while the uncommon faceted “Eiffel Tower” hour markers give the watch a sharper, more architectural aesthetic seldom encountered on this reference. The true star of the watch, however, is its superb deep grey sunburst dial, which transforms dramatically depending on the light, ranging from charcoal to metallic graphite tones. Combined with the warm ageing and subtle patina throughout, it creates a wonderfully characterful and versatile everyday sports watch. The condition is excellent overall. The case retains strong, defined lugs with visible factory faceting, suggesting the watch has avoided excessive polishing over the decades. The case back engraving remains crisp and free from personal inscriptions, while the original Rolex Oyster bracelet remains impressively tight with very little stretch. Mechanically, the watch is running strongly with healthy amplitude and good timekeeping.
