CHF 12'500 .-

A superb example of the Rolex Submariner Date reference 16800, dating from 1982 and featuring the highly desirable early matte tritium dial. The case is in excellent overall condition, having been polished in the past and showing only light wear from use, while retaining beautiful proportions and definition. The original matte black dial is particularly attractive and remains in excellent condition, with the tritium hour markers having developed a beautiful warm patina over time. The original tritium hands are equally well preserved, displaying a slightly lighter shade of patina than the hour markers, giving the watch an honest and charming vintage appearance. The original black aluminum bezel insert is also in excellent condition for its age, retaining its attractive original character. The watch is fitted with its original reference 93150 Oyster bracelet with 593 end links and a G clasp code, showing only very light stretch from use and remaining in excellent overall condition. Introduced in 1979, the reference 16800 represents an important transitional generation of the Submariner, combining the vintage charm of a matte dial with significant technical improvements, including a sapphire crystal, quickset date and increased water resistance. The watch is accompanied by its original Rolex presentation box and an official Rolex service card dated 2020. A particularly attractive and beautifully preserved example of the early reference 16800, combining an excellent original matte dial, appealing tritium patina and documented Rolex maintenance.
