Tudor - Prince Oysterdate Serpico y Laino watch in steel

Reference 7966 is the Tudor Prince Oysterdate with a 34 mm steel case, 25-jewel automatic movement, and a rotor branded “Tudor Auto-Prince.”

What sets this example apart is its double Serpico y Laino signature, which was the exclusive distributor of Rolex and Tudor in Venezuela, a maison jewelry house in Caracas so highly respected by the founder of Rolex that he granted it the rare privilege of printing its name on the dials of watches sold in the boutique.

A right granted to very few retailers in the world, such as Tiffany & Co. Watches branded Serpico y Laino are today among the most sought-after vintage Tudors and Rolexes by collectors.

The silver dial, with applied baton hour markers, is in a very well-preserved condition. The bracelet is an original folded Rolex bracelet with a branded Tudor deployant clasp.
