For sale is a rare and exceptionally elegant vintage Tudor, dating to the brand's first golden era of the 1950s. This is not a standard model, it is a "Prima," a special designation indicating it contains a higher-grade, factory-adjusted movement for superior timekeeping. Paired with the highly sought-after "Small Rose" logo and a classic mid-century design, this watch represents a significant and highly collectible piece of early Tudor history. The watch is housed in a classic nickel plated brass case measuring 35mm, which is defined by its highly stylized "teardrop" or "bombshell" lugs. This elegant, non-Oyster case design gives the watch a distinct dressy charm that stands out. Its original dial has aged into a beautiful, even creamy patina, a characteristic highly prized by vintage collectors. It features a timeless layout with Arabic numerals, a clear minute track, and a subsidiary small-seconds dial at the 6 o'clock position. The dial is signed with the elegant "Small Rose" emblem, the "Prima" quality mark, and "Shock-Resisting," noting its high-tech (for the era) movement protection. **Key Features:** Brand: Tudor Designation: 'Prima' (High-Grade Adjusted Movement) Era: Circa 1950s Case Size: 35mm (excluding crown) Case Style: Nickel plated brass with 'Teardrop' / 'Bombshell' Lugs Dial: Original Cream "Patina" Dial, Arabic Numerals, Small Seconds Logo: 'Small Rose' Emblem Movement: Manual Wind Mechanical ('Prima' Grade) Feature: Shock-Resisting Please reach out if you want to see this or any other watch over FaceTime.
