Model: SubmarinerReference: 1680Case Material: Stainless SteelBracelet Material: Stainless SteelYear: 1972Movement: AutomaticCaliber: 1570Case N°: 3 181 234Dimensions: 40 mmSigned: Dial, movement and caseThe Submariner is among the most iconic—if not the most iconic—timepieces Rolex has ever produced and beyond any doubt one of Rolex’s most coveted models in the history of horology. The 1680 was the first Submariner equipped with a date function, marking thepletion of the transition of the Submariner line from specialist tool watch to mass-market fashion accessories. A sporty yet ultra-chic piece for every day wearing, collectors will make a distinction between a reference 1680 with red writing on the dial and a reference 1680 with all-white writing. Unlike the later-era examples of the reference 1680 Submariner that received mat black dials with all-white text, early production of the reference 1680 had dials that featured the Submariner name printed in red. The reference 1680 Red Submariner is certainly one of the most easily recognizable vintage references and is frequently considered an entry point into serious vintage Rolex collecting. This lot is one of those Red Submariner that you can’t miss: its stainless steel case is nice and well preserved with no evident signs of wearing: the stainless steel Oyster bracelet is fresh with the original Rolex clasp while the graduated black bezel maintains its vivid colors. The dial is a true gem for the sought after red signature and featuring beautiful clean white indexes that form a perfect circumference, the Mercedes hands in the same way are perfectly conserved, gaining a considerable charm.Estimate € 15000 - 30000A 20% import VAT is due on the final price including , only if it is delivered within the EU
