Prince 76213

The Tudor Prince 76213 occupies a unique space as Tudor’s answer to the classic two-tone Datejust, blending Rolex DNA with Tudor’s practical approach. Introduced in the 1990s, this reference is notable for its blend of a 36mm stainless steel case and yellow gold fluted bezel, offering a dressy yet versatile look. Collectors appreciate the 76213 for its reliability and its role as a more accessible alternative to its Rolex cousins, while still benefiting from the shared lineage and design cues.

This model houses the automatic ETA 2824-2 movement, valued for its serviceability and robust performance. Dials range from classic champagne to more uncommon silver or blue, with both baton and Roman numeral markers seen. Earlier examples feature the “T Swiss Made T” tritium dials, while later ones transition to Luminova—dial lume type can affect desirability and price. The Jubilee-style bracelet with gold center links (reference 6248/19) is original to the model and a key point of authenticity.

Price variation among 76213 watches hinges on dial condition, lume originality, bracelet stretch, and whether the watch retains its box and papers. Collectors seek full sets and unpolished cases, as over-polishing can soften the sharp lugs characteristic of this reference. The 100m water resistance adds everyday practicality, but confirm crown and caseback seals are intact if you plan to wear it regularly. This Tudor offers vintage charm with modern dependability, making it a compelling choice in the neo-vintage market.
