Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner Circa 1968
Since its inception in the 1950s, the Rolex Submariner remains the standard among diving watches and represents the company’s historic contribution to watchmaking. This superlative Swiss-made perpetual chronograph presents in a stainless steel case with the iconic Rolex Oyster band. The time displays on the classic black dial with luminous markers and hands.
Early Rolex models rank among some of the most desirable models among collectors and enthusiasts today. Only having a single ownership over its lifetime, this iconic timepiece survives in impeccable condition retaining near maximum tension in the watchband. This watch was serviced by Patek twice in its lifetime and it appears that they elected to fit a new dial to it, as they often do as part of their service policy. Thus it now has an authentic but later dial.
This exceptional timepiece bears a full restoration and servicing as well as an 18-month warranty.
