Read more about this watch...

One of Rolex iconic models and nowadays a most wanted timepiece for this brand's enthusiasts and professional divers. The Submariner is, hands down, the watch that was a milestone in the history of Rolex when in 1953 launched their first watch exclusively designed for submarine exploration and diving.

The Ref. 16610 was first unveiled in 1989 (and produced until 2010) and has since become highly sought after on the pre-owned market.

The metal used for the 16610 is the incredibly resilient 904L stainless steel which is almost exclusively the domain of Rolex. Containing higher proportions of chromium, molybdenum, nickel, and copper than the traditional 316L steel employed by practically every rival manufacturer, it is a much harder metal and more resistant to corrosion. It also has a unique luster when polished, visually setting it appart in a crowded industry.

Inside, the Rolex Submariner 16610 is fitted with the legendary calibre 3135, commonly regarded as one of the finest mass-produced mechanichal movements ever created.

Additionally, the hour markers on the 16610 are smaller than on the present-day version, which is fitted with what is known as a "Maxi Dial" among modern collectors. However, the indexes are still framed in white gold, something that Rolex introduced mid-way through the production of the Submariner Ref. 16800 that came before. The 18ct white gold surrounds for the hour markers provide the watch with a much more elevated appearance than the painted on markers that can be found on the older matte dials.

On the Ref. 16610 was used the aluminium bezel insert. Still very robust, it is more likely to fade in color after spending time under the sun or under the water. These faded aluminium bezel inserts can take on colors ranging from gray to blue, and that special patina is what vintage lovers actively seek out.

For the first 10 years of production Rolex was using Tritium as luminiscent material. Dials of this type are marked either "T SWISS T" or "SWISS - T < 25" (like on this presented watch) along the very bottom edge, below the 6 o'clock.

The end-links of the bracelet were separate pieces from the rest of the bracelet and were hallow in their design.

Lastly, the case of the Submariner 16610 still had lug holes all the way up to 2003. While the small holes on the sides of the lugs result in a slightly less refined, and more tool-like appearance, they are now one of those little details that are beloved by today’s collectors. Additionally, they are also a feature that makes swapping out straps and changing bands significantly easier.

Overall, Rolex Submariner 16610 is often considered "The Last of The Best". What the watch loses in contemporary touches like the ceramic bezel, it gains back in classic styling elements and a more graceful silhouette. The simple yet classic look has proven itself to be truly timeless; whether worn with a business suit or a wetsuit, the Rolex Submariner can match with anything.
