Pre-owned Rolex Submariner Ref. 16808 (circa 1981) is a gold and black edition of the trailblazing dive watch. When it hit the market over 40 years ago, it was only the second Submariner in yellow gold, followed only by ref. 1680. While many collectors might be more familiar with the stainless steel ref. 16800, the watch was also produced in precious metal and with a black or blue dial like the 5-digit Rolex for sale here. Additionally, both models sport the date at 3 o'clock and distinctive nipple-style hour markers.
However, ref. 16808 sports several upgrades over its 4-digit processor, including scratch-resistant sapphire instead of acrylic, increased water resistance up to 1,000 feet, and the higher-beat caliber 3035 Perpetual movement with a Quickset date. This example of the Rolex 16808 is in lovely vintage condition, featuring a striking black dial and bezel.
