Tudor was founded by Hans Wilsdorf in 1926 as a sibling to Rolex — built to the same standards at a more accessible reach. The Black Bay and Pelagos carry that tool-watch lineage into the present, now driven by Tudor’s own in-house movements.
Palazzo keeps a working selection of Tudor on hand — each piece examined against its reference and documented plainly.
A genuine Tudor reveals itself in the details a trained eye is taught to read. We check every one, and we put what we find in writing.
The caliber is read against the reference — finishing, engravings and rotor. The movement is where most fakes fall apart.
Printing, applied markers and lume tone under loupe. Service dials are disclosed, never disguised.
Profile, hallmarks, clasp codes and overall heft. Polishing is graded honestly — sharp, light, or refinished.
Papers, serial cross-reference and service history — documented on your invoice and the Palazzo certificate.
