This 1966 Tudor Prince Ref. 511345 is a striking dress watch from the golden era of Tudor, housed in a solid 18k gold case (hallmarked) with serial 5111345. The watch is powered by the original Fleurier Caliber 63A, a 21-jewel automatic movement marked with the FEF manufacturer’s logo—correct to the watch and predating Tudor’s widespread adoption of ETA movements. Its minimalist gold-tone dial is notable for omitting the Tudor Rose emblem, making it a unique outlier in the brand’s lineup of the period. With elegant baton markers and slim case proportions, it represents Tudor’s less common dress-watch designs from the 1960s–early 1970s. This example comes fitted with a brand new leather strap and is accompanied by a Tudor-branded felt carrying case for modern wear and safekeeping.

Restoration Thoughts / Notes:
The Fleurier Caliber 63A movement is historically significant, as it marks an era when Tudor relied on high-grade ébauche movements before transitioning to ETA dominance in the 1970s.
The absence of the Tudor Rose on the dial is unusual for this period, giving the watch a distinctive and highly collectible place in Tudor’s design history.
The solid 18k gold case, hallmarked and bearing the Geneva stamp, underscores the prestige of this reference—a step above the more common gold-plated or steel models, and a reminder that Tudor once produced true luxury dress pieces alongside Rolex.
