Rolex Submariner 16808 Blue Dial 18K Yellow Gold B&B Circa 1980
This Rolex Submariner Date 16808 was recently added to our pre-owned collection and is presented in excellent condition with box and books (circa 1980). A highly collectible vintage Submariner, this reference features a striking blue dial paired with a solid 18K yellow gold case and matching Oyster bracelet. Known among collectors for its transitional position in the Submariner's history, the 16808 combines classic vintage character with the upgraded quickset functionality of Rolex's 3035 movement.
Housed in a 40mm 18K yellow gold case, this Submariner is powered by Rolex's automatic Caliber 3035, offering a quickset date function and approximately 42 hours of power reserve. The iconic rotating dive bezel, luminous hour markers, Cyclops date magnifier, and robust Oyster construction give this vintage Submariner its unmistakable character. With its rich blue dial and all-gold construction, the 16808 represents a particularly desirable chapter in the evolution of the Rolex Submariner.
