Rolex Submariner

The 168000 is one of the rarest Submariners made by Rolex . A transitional model, it was made for just 9 months prior to the launch of the much longer running 16610. The 168000 featured Rolex new case metal made from 904L used because of enhanced anti corrosion qualities .
This model dates to 1987 and is instantly recogniseable by the oxidised dial and Tropical Lume fading on the hour markers consistent with this model and more importantly it has the thin Tulip Coronet at 12 on the dial . There were amazingly 2-3 dial variations of this model and in such a short production run !
The watch comes with period correct bracelet 93150 and original box with warranty card holder with serial number sticker and green tag sadly the original warranty papers are not present.
The watch is in great condition having just been serviced . The case is unpolished and retains the original thickness.
