ROLEX SUBMARINER 16618 – PURPLE VIRATED DIAL – FULLY OXIDATED – UNPOLISHED

ROLEX SUBMARINER REFERENCE 16618 – PURPLE TONE DIAL – COMPLETELY OXIDIZED – UNPOLISHED

When the Submariner hit the market in the 1950s it was only made of steel. It featured a time-only dial, a bidirectional bezel, and was water resistant to 100 meters. During the first two generations, the stainless steel references saw numerous updates, including the arrival of the chronometer-classified movement, an increase in case size, the implementation of crown protectors, and the addition of a date window and the accompanying Cyclopean magnifying glass.

The next stage in the history of the reference is the Submariner 16618, which is the all-gold variant of the transitional ref 16800. The 1980s, with improved functionality and materials, marked the transition from the vintage Submariner to the modern generation.

This second-hand Rolex reference 16618 watch has the following features:

18K yellow gold case and bracelet
Blue ring
