Unveiled in 1989, the Rolex Submariner ref. 16610 succeeded the short-lived transitional ref. 16800 and is dubbed by collectors as the first true “modern” Submariner featuring the new cal. 3135. Compared to the latest Submariner ref. 126610, launched in 2020, the ref. 16610 is slightly smaller and measures 40mm in diameter rather than the most updated 41mm. The present reference is a fantastic model for keen collectors seeking their first timepieces to add to their collection.
Offered in “new-old-stock" condition, this is a desirable specimen retaining all its factory stickers and is further accompanied by its full set of accessories. The present Rolex Submariner ref. 16610 is a spectacular opportunity to acquire a pristine example of the much-coveted reference marked from circa 2011.
Founded in 1905 England by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis as Wilsdorf & Davis, it soon became known as the Rolex Watch Company in 1915, moving its headquarters to Geneva in 1919. Like no other company, the success of the wristwatch can be attributed to many of Rolex's innovations that made them one of the most respected and well-known of all luxury brands. These innovations include their famous "Oyster" case — the world's first water resistant and dustproof watch case, invented in 1926 — and their "Perpetual" — the first reliable self-winding movement for wristwatches launched in 1933. They would form the foundation for Rolex's Datejust and Day-Date, respectively introduced in 1945 and 1956, but also importantly for their sports watches, such as the Explorer, Submariner and GMT-Master launched in the mid-1950s.
One of its most famous models is the Cosmograph Daytona. Launched in 1963, these chronographs are without any doubt amongst the most iconic and coveted of all collectible wristwatches. Other key collectible models include their most complicated vintage watches, including references 8171 and 6062 with triple calendar and moon phase, "Jean Claude Killy" triple date chronograph models and the Submariner, including early "big-crown" models and military-issued variants.
