Description

An automatic translation of this text is available.
I am offering an absolute rarity: a Rolex Submariner Date Ref. 1680/0 from the early 1970s (very probably from 1972) - a legendary model that makes collectors' hearts beat faster, especially because of the red "Submariner" lettering on the dial. This "Red Sub" is one of the most sought-after vintage pieces in the Submariner range.

The Ref. 1680 was also the first Submariner to be equipped with an enlarged date display. This so-called "Cyclops magnifying glass" above the date window is a Rolex trademark and makes it easier to read the date.

The condition of the watch is worn, with normal signs of use that emphasize its vintage character. The strap has been professionally refinished; the bezel, dial and hands are original. The luminous dot on the bezel is no longer present, but has deliberately not been replaced in order to preserve the originality of the watch.

Scope of delivery:

Rolex Submariner Date "Red Sub" 1680/0

Confirmation of authenticity with detailed data from the master watchmaker

Important note for collectors:
This watch is not only a milestone in the history of the Submariner, but also a testament to the fine art of watchmaking. The model combines history, rarity and authentic vintage charm.

Contact:
If you are interested or have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Additional pictures can be provided on request. Personal delivery or insured shipping is possible by arrangement. I look forward to hearing from you!

There are no original papers or packaging left. However, the authenticity of the watch has been confirmed by a certified master watchmaker who has prepared detailed documentation with the relevant data. You will of course receive this document from me with the watch. A revision was not carried out, as this would reduce the value of the watch as a collector's item, according to a Bucherer expert.

Asking price:
22.000 € vb.
