1985 Rolex Submariner Date Vintage 40MM Steel Black Dial Oyster Bracelet (16800)
This timepiece is in good condition, with signs of wear. It was serviced in 2021. It comes as part of a set that includes a box, a gift bag, and a hangtag (brick). Please note that this auction does not include papers. Buyers shipping the watch to MI will be required to pay applicable sales tax in addition to the purchase price of the watch to the seller.
The Rolex Submariner Date is an exquisite timepiece that epitomizes Rolex's legendary craftsmanship and iconic design. This exceptional vintage piece has a 40mm case crafted from steel. Its black unidirectional rotating bezel flaunts a 60-minute graduation and empowers divers to accurately and securely track their diving and decompression durations.
Its black dial ensures optimal legibility in any lighting condition, thanks to luminescent hour markers and hands. Positioned at three o'clock, the date display is magnified by the iconic Cyclops lens, a hallmark feature of Rolex timepieces. Even though it sports an impressive water resistance rating of up to 300 meters, it's advisable to avoid exposing this timepiece to water to preserve its vintage nature.
It bears an iconic Oyster bracelet fashioned from the same resilient steel as the case, resulting in a harmonious and integrated look. Its crowned folding clasp ensures a comfortable fastening while reducing the risk of unintended release.
At the heart of this timepiece beats an in-house automatic movement caliber 3035, a testament to Rolex's expertise in precision watchmaking, providing a power reserve of up to 42 hours. The solid case back protects the internal components from dust and moisture, exemplifying Rolex’s unwavering commitment to excellence.
The Rolex Submariner Date (16800) is a vintage piece highly coveted by collectors and enthusiasts. Its distinguished character and underwater design impart a singular elegance, making it a remarkable and invaluable addition to any collection.
