Prince is the most common family label in the sale records, including Antiquorum’s “Prince Elegant Curvex” wording. Christie's calls a 3059 “Precision,” and Sotheby’s and Antiquorum also use “Super Precision.” The Vintage Rolex Field Manual lists 3059 as a rectangular, red-gold Precision~~. The Beautiful Watch dealer listing says its example is “not strictly a Prince,” while several auction catalogues use Prince for ref. 3059~~. “Curvex” appears as a catalogue and collector label; these records do not establish either term as the sole factory model name.
