The Rolex Submariner was introduced in 1953 as the world’s first dive watch water-resistant to 100 meters. Designed for professional divers, it quickly became a symbol of rugged performance and timeless elegance. Its rotating bezel, luminous dial, and robust Oyster case laid the foundation for what would become one of the most iconic and collectible watches in the world — worn by explorers, adventurers, and even James Bond himself.
This exceptional Rolex Submariner Ref. 16610, serial E755XXX, dates to 1991 and comes complete with original box and papers. It’s powered by the legendary Caliber 3135, known for its reliability and precision. The glossy black dial is in pristine condition, with white gold surrounds and rich warm yellow tritium lume that has aged beautifully — giving it that unmistakable vintage character sought after by collectors.
Even more impressive, the case is unpolished, preserving its original chamfers, crisp lug edges, and factory brushing — a true rarity. Paired with its original Oyster bracelet, tight and correct for the period, this Submariner is not just well-preserved — it's collector-grade.
A perfect blend of heritage, function, and patina, this 16610 offers a pure vintage Rolex experience — honest, full set, and ready to wear or treasure.
