The Rolex Submariner was first introduced by Rolex in 1953 and is notable for being one of the first watches specifically designed for diving. Beyond its technical capabilities, the Submariner has become an icon in the world of watches, with a timeless design that has remained largely unchanged since its introduction. It is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential watches of all time, and has become a symbol of Rolex's reputation for quality, durability, and precision. The Sub has been worn by everyone from professional divers and military personnel to Hollywood celebrities and heads of state, cementing its place in the pantheon of iconic watches.

The ref. 16610 really brings everything loved about the vintage Submariner into the modern age into what is now considered a modern classic. This particular Z97X example, circa 2006-7 is one of the very final examples produced before the engraved rehaut as this feature was added in late Z serial examples. For us, this is an interesting "transitional" example given the more classic blank rehaut and the addition of a warranty card. This piece remains in excellent condition with a mint dial, well-preserved insert and very strong looking case/bracelet. For the discerning collector, this piece comes as a true full set which includes inner and outer boxes, warranty papers, serialized and wax tag,  booklets, wallet, and anchor. If you've been looking for the perfect daily driver, this reference is one of our top recommendations.
