Rolex Leather Watches

Does anyone know some good designs/models of Rolex watches if any, similar to the ones below?
Note: I especially like the rectangular shape of the watch.

Prices are not important, thanks.

The Rolex Prince is rectangular shaped.

To be honest, the Rolex Prince is the only model I can currently recall the features a rectangular design that is CURRENTLY in production. Many of the other models have circular dials. You might want to consider the Cellini Danaos which has a circular face as well but a unique shape of the case. It is a little more oblong.

If you want more rectangular dials besides the Rolex Prince, I say you look to Cartier.

Here is a Rolex Prince. Bear in mind that there are many more other dial variations and colors and the Prince is also available in white gold.

Welcome to TRF!

If I were to get a rectangular Rolex, I would go for the ORIGINAL Rolex Prince from the 1930ies. Yes, they don't come cheap, but it would be a good investment.

I didn't realize these had a sapphire case-back! Very cool!
