Rolex Submariner 16800 - 1984

The Submariner 16800 is what is known as a transitional model, linking the plexi-glass, matte-dial 1680 Sub to the long-running 16610 with sapphire crystal and white gold marker surrounds. The 16800 was the first Sub to feature a Sapphire crystal and uni-directional clicker bezel, and has become extremely desirable for it’s combination of Pre-Ceramic case proportions, use of tritium which will patina over time, while also having modern reliability and functionality.

This particular example dates from 1984 and presents in very good vintage condition. Would have been polished in the past, but not overly so. Retains thick lugs, with clear numbers between them. Case shows minor scratching and scuffs from regular use, as well as a few nicks and small dings.

Tritium markers are beginning to show a creamy patina developing, and hands match the dial. Please see images for full condition details.

Comes equipped on a 93150 bracelet with 9 links, with 593 end links. Very light stretch.

Unknown service history. Currently keeping COSC timing.

Comes as watch-only.
