Description

Our opinion: A sublime example of the vintage Submariner date reference 1680, the Rolex Submariner with date and red writing on the meter first TROPICAL dial. A must-have in a Rolex collection, produced until 1975, this watch is part of the first meter first mark 2 series, serial number 22XXXXX which had the particularity of turning brown, tropical perfect. The watch is in perfect condition, its original mk2 dial has a superb vanilla-yellow patina with the red clearly visible on white, thus thicker to the eye, and its matte black has become tropical perfect! A rare watch in this condition, as almost all of them were diving at the time. A beautiful collector's item in almost new condition, with its original folded oyster bracelet and brown dial. A must-have for any fine collection, as so few full sets have survived to the present day.
