Our remarks

We are pleased to present an exceptional example of the iconic ROLEX SUBMARINER DATE, Reference 16808, crafted in 18k yellow gold.

This distinguished timepiece is paired with a tasteful grey leather strap and complemented by a matching gold-plated ROLEX pin buckle.

Accompanying the watch is its official customs documentation, confirming lawful importation into the European Union.

Of particular note is the original ROLEX blue tritium “nipple” dial, which, through years of exposure—likely to generous sunshine—has gracefully aged into a captivating tropical hue. The once-dark blue bezel insert has similarly transformed, now presenting a striking light blue tone. The resulting aesthetic is both rare and visually arresting.

Introduced in the early 1980s, the Reference 16808 was the first Submariner model to feature a sapphire crystal, following in the footsteps of the legendary Reference 1680.

A compelling collector’s piece, offering both historical significance and distinctive visual appeal—worthy of any discerning collection.

Comes with a one year warranty trough our watch lab.
