Description
This is the cleanest Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Submariner ref. 16800 you will find. The 40mm stainless steel case and high-beat Rolex automatic winding movement has been cleaned and serviced at the cost of over $600 in 2011. This is the rarer transitional, early version with desirable matte dial having vanilla lume and matching hands. The ref. 16800 was the first Submariner to appear with a sapphire crystal and high-beat movement from 1979 to 1983. This model is from 1981 with a 7.1 million serial. The later watches (after 1983) had glossy dials and white-gold markers, which are the more common variety. This is the most complete package you will find, having the inner and outer box, all papers, manuals, and anchor. It’s condition is superb.
