Description

Rolex Sport models from the 1980s are getting more and more sought after among existing collectors as well as by collectors getting into Vintage Rolex. The interesting part is to have the best from both worlds. A discontinued reference with patina on the dial as well as a sapphire crystal and quick set date making it functional on a daily basis even for wearers of contemporary modern watches. The present example is such a watch. It has a beautifully aged dial showing a nice aging on the Tritium and a very strong case with a beautifully preserved bezel. To put cream on top this watch comes in a beautiful collectors full set with box, original warranty certificate by Bucherer, anker and booklets.

The Rolex Submariner

The Rolex Submariner is without a doubt one of the most successful Rolex models in history. Not only because it more than aptly served its purpose as diver’s watch, although I am pretty sure only a small number of Submariners has ever seen a spat of water. Its appearance in several James Bond movies certainly helped as well. If you omit functionality and marketing, the Submariner success is mainly due to its elegance as a timeless dress watch. It’s just one of those watches you keep looking at, regardless of wanting to know the time of day. The Submariner was launched in 1953 and officially presented at the Basel Fair in 1954.
