However, going back a few decades, the vast majority of watches made by Tudor were solid, purpose-built tool watches in stainless steel, designed to be more accessible than their Rolex counterparts. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIt is therefore amazing to handle the present example, a Tudor Prince Oysterdate ref. 9071\/8: a 34 mm dress watch crafted entirely in 18k yellow gold. The 9071 draws comparisons to the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date line, and just like the Rolexes, most 9071s were made in stainless steel, and occasionally in steel and gold (two-tone). Only in very rare instances do you find a 9071\/8, which undoubtedly sold to someone who knew exactly what they liked, as the original price of this watch was many times higher than most stainless steel Rolex models of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhatever the reason for its existence, we're grateful for it. The watch has survived in amazing condition after nearly 50 years. The case appears untouched, with minimal marks, and the original champagne dial is perfect, with the tritium lume aging to a gorgeous creamy hue. The movement came to us in perfect health, running at 0 s\/d, with 250° amplitude and a 0.2 ms beat error. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWith its flat caseback, the 9071\/8 wears like a hybrid between a sports watch and a dress watch. Incredibly cool. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tudor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56666297336194,"sku":null,"price":4850.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/9201\/0882\/files\/TUDORPRINCEOYSTERDATE90718_18KYELLOWGOLD_12.jpg?v=1779978659","url":"https:\/\/falco-watches.com\/products\/tudor-prince-oyster-date-9071-8-18k-yellow-gold","provider":"Falco","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
