Rolex Submariner 16800 Stainless Steel 40mm Black Dial Vintage Watch (1986)
The Rolex Submariner 16800 is a transitional reference that bridges vintage character with modern upgrades, making it a highly collectible model among enthusiasts. This 1986 example features a 40mm stainless steel case, rotating bezel, and black dial protected by a sapphire crystal—one of the first Submariners to use sapphire instead of acrylic. Powered by the automatic Rolex caliber 3035 with a 48-hour power reserve, it offers quickset date functionality and 300m water resistance, securing its place as a professional-grade dive watch.
In very good condition (8/10), showing normal wear and light scratches consistent with age. Watch only, no box or papers. PM Number: PM2007458.
