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.
