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 it was only made of steel. It featured a time-only dial, a bidirectional bezel, and was water resistant to 100 meters. During the first two generations, the stainless steel references saw numerous updates, including the arrival of the chronometer-classified movement, an increase in case size, the implementation of crown protectors, and the addition of a date window and the accompanying Cyclopean magnifying glass.

The next stage in the history of the reference 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 second hand watch Rolex Submariner of reference 16808 has the following characteristics:
