Description

18K Yellow gold Rolex Submariner ref. 1680. This gold Submariner is in excellent condition. While it has been professionally polished, the case remains thick, and the bracelet shows minimal stretch. The dial is flawless, with the lume on the hour markers and hands having developed a gorgeous creamy patina. The vintage black bezel is nearly perfect, with only slight signs of wear. The Oyster bracelet is signed "D'A," indicating its South American provenance. Powered by the self-winding caliber 1570 movement, this watch is a remarkable addition to any collection, thanks to its total originality and the rarity of its gold bracelet.

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.
