Rolex. Attractive and Charming Submariner, Automatic Wristwatch in Yellow Gold, with Tropical Purple Dial, Reference 1680, with Papers and Service Model: Submariner Reference: 1680 Case Material: Yellow Gold Bracelet Material: Leather Strap Year: 1972 Movement: Automatic Caliber: 1575 Case N°: 2976173 Dimensions: 40 mm Signed: Dial, Case and Movement Accessories: Service and Warranty Reference 1680 was the first Submariner to be produced in gold, for clients seeking a touch of luxury with professional capabilities. The present example is a great specimen in yellow gold, absolutely rare with its original dial and unidirectional blue bezel for checking decompression time spans. In very nice overall condition, this 1680 has a sharp-edged case with nice proportions and bevels. The dial is showing a principle of topicalization (actually not just a principle) that is conferring a subtile and intriguing purple color in the middle slowly fading to blue when getting to the edges. With nipple indexes, the present watch is among the most significant yellow-gold Submariners to have been offered at auction in the recent years considering the fact that it comes with its original warranty and service. Estimate € 30000 - 60000
