Rolex Submariner Date 16808 Rare Tropical Champagne Dial – Blue Bezel – Rolex Warranty

ROLEX SUBMARINER DATE 16808 RARE TROPICAL CHAMPAGNE DIAL

When the Submariner hit the market in the 1950s, the watch was only produced in steel. It featured a time-only dial, a bi-directional bezel, and was water-resistant up to 100 meters. During the first couple of generations, the stainless steel references saw numerous upgrades, including the arrival of chronometer-certified rated movement, an increase in case size, the implementation of crown guards, and the addition of a date window and accompanying Cyclops magnification lens.

The next stop in the history of the ref. 16618 is the Submariner 16808, which is the all-gold variant of the transitional ref. 16800. The 1980s, with improved functionality and materials, marked the transition from the vintage Submariner to the modern generation.

This vitage Rolex Submariner reference 16808 shows the following features:
Case and Bracelet in 18k Yellow Gold
Rare Chamagne Tropical Dial
