Catalogue description

Dealer description — Huntington Company

History and Significance The Tudor Prince Date-Day has long been one of the brand's hidden gems. Built using the same Oyster case architecture that made Rolex famous, these watches delivered exceptional quality while establishing an identity of their own through unique dial variations and approachable proportions. Reference 94613 combines stainless steel with yellow gold to create a versatile everyday watch that carries unmistakable vintage charm. At 35mm, it reflects the sizing of the era while remaining incredibly wearable by modern standards. Champagne dials have become increasingly appreciated over the past several years. Their appearance changes dramatically depending on the lighting, shifting from bright metallic gold to warm honey tones throughout the day. When paired with naturally aged gold components, the overall effect becomes even more appealing. Well-preserved examples are becoming increasingly difficult to find, particularly those that remain unpolished with fully linked bracelets. Sharp case geometry makes an enormous difference on these integrated Oyster designs, preserving the crisp lines that define the watch. Writer’s Thoughts Vintage two-tone watches have experienced a resurgence, and references like the 94613 explain why. The naturally oxidized yellow gold gives the watch warmth and character that simply cannot be replicated. Combined with the razor-sharp case and creamy lume, this example captures everything that makes vintage Tudor so enjoyable. Our Promise Every watch is thoroughly vetted, carefully described with complete transparency, and guaranteed authentic. Each piece is offered in honest condition, ensuring collectors receive a timepiece that reflects both originality and integrity.

Historical context

Mechanical Renaissance (1990 – 2010)

Mechanical watches return as cultural objects; independent watchmaking flourishes.

Mechanical watches returned as cultural and luxury objects. Complications, tourbillons and new materials proliferated; independent watchmakers such as George Daniels, F.P. Journe and Philippe Dufour revived artisanal watchmaking; collecting vintage watches became a major field.

Atlas type guide

Wristwatches

Bracelet watches were worn by women from the early nineteenth century — Breguet made one for Caroline Murat, Queen of Naples, in 1810–12 — but the wristwatch only became a man's instrument with military use and aviation in the early twentieth century. Between the World Wars it overtook the pocket watch; the 1920s and 1930s brought rectangular Art Deco cases, water-resistant cases and the first automatic winding systems.

After 1945 the wristwatch became a carrier of identity — dress watches, sports and dive watches, chronographs, calendars — produced by Swiss, American, Japanese, German, Soviet and Chinese industries. The quartz revolution after 1969 and the mechanical renaissance since the 1990s, including the rise of independent watchmakers, complete the story.

What to look for

  • The reference number (between the lugs or inside the case back) and serial number, the starting point for dating.
  • The calibre: its maker and number are often stamped under the dial or on the bridge.
  • Originality of dial, hands and crown — refinished ('redial') dials are common.
  • Case material marks: 18K/750, 14K/585, stainless steel, gold-filled, plated.

Dating clues

  • Wire-lug cases: before c. 1925.
  • Water-resistant screw-down cases: from 1926.
  • Quartz movements: from 1969; sapphire crystals widespread after c. 1980.
