Rolex Submariner Date 1680 Mark 1

The Rolex Submariner is one of the most iconic and recognisable vintage watches ever made. Shifting through many different variations over its long lifespan, the Submariner remains a popular model in modern Rolex catalogues. The golden age of vintage timepieces currently spans the 1960s and '70s, where today's most sought after watches were released in this period. The 1680, a promiment Submariner reference at the time, was released in the '70s and is widely revered by the Rolex faithful. This particular Mark 1 example has a serial number dating from 1978. Its 93150 flip-lock bracelet with 580 end links are some of the many interesting features which this example boasts. Furthermore this watch's desirability is only enhanced by the beautifully aged lume, which is totally unique to this piece.

Presented in a service pouch, this late '70s Submariner is one of the finest we have encountered. It remains in outstanding condition and presents a perfect opportunity for a lucrative investment.
