Rolex Submariner Date 16610, 16610

The Swiss Watch Co UK Ltd presents this iconic Rolex Submariner Date for sale.

The Rolex Submariner can easily be described as one of Rolex's most famous designs and is considered one of the most popular diving watches ever created. When first launched back in the early 1950s, this was the first-ever watch to be water-resistant to 300m and set the standard for what a diving watch should be both in functionality and style.

It wasn’t until 1967 that the Submariner got its now iconic date feature with the model 1680 and then in 1983 it was fitted with a sapphire crystal glass. This is the 3^rd generation Submariner Date, the reference 16610.Set in a brushed and polished 40mm stainless steel Oyster case and fitted on the matching Oyster bracelet, this watch has a glossy black dial with date aperture and applied luminous hour markers edged with white gold to prevent patina. Printed with 4 lines of text as per the original style on the 1680, the uni-directional bezel is fitted with a Rolex black bezel insert with luminous pip to complete the look.

Originally purchased in August 1990 and in Mint Condition, the watch comes supplied with the original leather Rolex wallet/calendar, green service pouch, original bill of sale and perforated international warranty paper.

This would be an amazing gift for a 30^th Birthday this year!
