Rolex Submariner Reference 16808 in 18K Yellow Gold w/ Blue/Teal Dial Full Set

The Rolex Submariner is certainly one of the most iconic timepieces and for great reason. The Submariner was introduced in 1954 and to this day it remains a staple in the Rolex line. This particular example is the reference 16808. It features an 8.69M serial dating to circa 1985. The blue dial has developed a teal discoloration which is very unique and attractive. The insert and dial have a Bahamian blue vibe! The 18K yellow gold case has been lightly polished in the past, but is nice. For those looking for an awesome gold Submariner, this is certainly a cool and interesting option!.

The comes with papers, and an associated and period correct box. It comes with a hangtag. We do not know the service history, but it is running well. It has recently passed a water resistance test of 5 bar.
