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. “Curvex” appears as a catalogue and collector label; these records do not establish either term as the sole factory model name.

Prince is the most common family label in the sale records. Antiquorum’s 2008 title uses “Prince Elegant Curvex”; 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. Catalogue labels vary, and the available evidence leaves the factory model designation unsettled.
