Tritium dial Rolex Submariner 16803

The Rolex Submariner is such an iconic model by Rolex, and here is the highly sought after 18ct gold and steel Rolex Submariner reference 16803 with the tritium dial.

Referred to as a “transitional” model, this is due that the fact that the previous model, the Rolex 1680 was fitted with an acrylic crystal and rated to a depth of 200m. Then Rolex produced this Rolex Submariner 16803 which was fitted with the sapphire crystal which also allowed its depth rating to be increased to 300m. This was also the first model made in 18ct gold and stainless steel.

This model was only produced for 4 years until Rolex introduced the Rolex Submariner 16613 making this quite a rare model to find.
Still made in the iconic 40mm case plus the Rolex screw down crown, it is fitted on the Rolex Oyster band which is in great condition. Inside there is the 27 jewelled automatic Rolex calibre 3035 that has just come back from a full service from our in-house Rolex trained watchmaker, and comes with our two year warranty.

With the black dial and bezel looking amazing set against the steel and gold, this Rolex Submariner 16803 is collectable as it is handsome and rugged.
