You can never go wrong with the classics – and the Rolex Submariner is without a doubt one of the most iconic watches ever made. Famous worldwide for its timeless design, outstanding durability and true tool-watch heritage, the Submariner remains a symbol of precision and reliability.
We are pleased to offer this rare Rolex Submariner reference 168000 from 1988, a highly interesting transitional model produced for a short period between the 16800 and the later 16610. This example comes with its original box.
The legendary Rolex calibre 3035 automatic movement is running strong and very precisely. The case is impressively thick and even, showing only minimal signs of age that reflect its authentic vintage character while maintaining beautiful proportions.
The dial is beginning to develop an attractive vanilla appearance, featuring a unique effect that gives the watch its own individual personality matching perfectly with the hands and bezel pearl.
The stainless steel bracelet is also correct for the watch and features the matching date stamp, completing the authentic vintage appearance of this exceptional Submariner.
A fantastic collector’s piece for enthusiasts looking for a rare reference with strong vintage appeal.
