We are pleased to present this Tudor Prince Date-Day Ref. 7017, a vintage piece that stands out not only for its distinctive style, but also for its notable connection to one of Rolex’s most iconic tool watches. Produced in the early 1970s, this reference is housed in the same 38mm case design as the Rolex Milgauss Ref. 1019—a rare and desirable feature that makes it increasingly sought after by collectors.

Milgauss Case Lineage

What truly sets the Ref. 7017 apart is its shared case construction with the Rolex Milgauss 1019. While the Milgauss has become a high-value collector's piece, the 7017 provides the same presence and profile at a more approachable level. Combined with its short production run, the Tudor 7017 has become an increasingly rare and desirable model within vintage Tudor collecting circles.

The 7017’s bold case proportions, pronounced lugs, and smooth bezel mirror the design of the Milgauss 1019, offering vintage Rolex DNA through Tudor’s more utilitarian and affordable lens. The silver sunburst dial features a clean layout with a day window at 12 o’clock and a date aperture at 3 o’clock, flanked by applied baton markers and slim, elegant hands.

Inside, the watch is powered by the robust automatic AS 1985 movement, known for its reliability and ease of maintenance. This example has been fully serviced and is offered in excellent condition, both mechanically and cosmetically.

Included is our 2-year in-house warranty, covering the movement and mechanical function for complete peace of mind.
