Heritage Narrative
Since its introduction in 1953, the Rolex Submariner has defined the modern dive watch, celebrated for its durability, rotating timing bezel, and waterproof Oyster case. Over time it evolved from a professional tool into an icon of sport-luxury style.
This September 2002 Rolex Submariner Date 16610 features the classic 40 mm stainless steel Oyster case, black dial with luminous markers, and sapphire crystal with Cyclops magnifier. Powered by the automatic calibre 3135 with chronometer certification and a date at 3 o’clock, this mint-condition example comes complete with its original box and papers.
