Description

18K gold Rolex Submariner ref. 16808. This is a Rolex Submariner reference 16808 in 18K gold from 1987, featuring the sought-after “Sultan” dial. The watch is in very good condition, showing little use and has been professionally polished, maintaining the luster of the gold. The standout feature is the beautiful dial, set with diamonds on the hour markers and sapphires at the quarter hours, giving it a luxurious and elegant appearance. The bracelet exhibits a bit of stretch, a sign of careful wear, and remains in excellent shape for its age. This rare and iconic model, with its unique Sultan dial and vintage appeal, is a valuable piece for collectors and Rolex enthusiasts alike.

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.
