The Piece

Rolex Submariner Date

Stainless steel, black dial, aluminium bezel, 40 mm

The reference 16610 is the Submariner Date that defined the model for more than twenty years, from 1988 to 2010. It keeps the classic proportions many collectors still prefer: a 40 mm case with slim lugs, an aluminium bezel insert with a matte finish, and a gloss black dial with luminous markers.

Calibre 3135 is one of the most respected automatic movements Rolex has ever made, robust and easy to service, with a quickset date under the Cyclops lens. The unidirectional bezel, screw-down Triplock crown and solid case back keep the watch water resistant to 300 metres.

This example shows honest signs of a life well lived, which we describe and photograph in full, including the case back and the Oyster bracelet with its Fliplock diving extension. It is supplied with an original box. As always, we are happy to answer questions or send more photographs.
