The Rolex Submariner 16800 represents a pivotal evolution in the Submariner lineage, bridging vintage charm with modern functionality. Introduced in the late 1970s and produced through the 1980s, this reference was the first to combine the classic design with a sapphire crystal and a quickset date function, powered by the reliable Caliber 3035 movement.
Its 40mm stainless steel case is paired with a bold black dial and unidirectional bezel, offering both rugged performance and timeless aesthetic. The luminous hour markers and Mercedes hands are built for visibility, while the Oyster bracelet ensures a secure, comfortable fit.
This piece comes in excellent condition with original papers dated October 9, 1987. As an early transitional Submariner, it is a fantastic option for collectors and enthusiasts seeking both durability and heritage. Backed by a 2-year Chrononation warranty for peace of mind.
