Dating from 1987 and recently serviced in 2024, this rare timepiece captivates with its elegance and timeless appeal, blending the brilliance of yellow gold with the depth of a patinated blue dial.
The 18K yellow gold case of the Submariner Date 16808 exudes a luminous and refined presence on the wrist. Its 40 mm diameter strikes a perfect balance between elegance and robustness, while the unidirectional rotating blue aluminum bezel, designed for diving, underscores the model's sporty character. The blue dial, subtly patinated by time, is illuminated by tritium-filled hour markers and hands, offering exceptional legibility and a vintage touch highly sought after by connoisseurs. The supple yet durable yellow gold Oyster bracelet fastens with a folding clasp that combines security and refinement. Finally, the sapphire crystal protects the dial with exemplary transparency and robustness, highlighting the meticulous attention to detail in the finishing by Rolex.
At the heart of this luxury timepiece beats the Rolex Calibre 3035 automatic movement, renowned for its reliability and precision. With a power reserve of approximately 48 hours, this movement ensures comfortable everyday wear. Professional functions, such as the quickset date at 3 o'clock and the rotating bezel designed for diving, make the Submariner 16808 a versatile instrument, equally suited to underwater adventures and formal occasions. Water resistance to 300 meters guarantees uncompromising performance, allowing for worry-free sporting use. This vintage watch thus combines the technical expertise and innovation that have defined Rolex for generations.
